[Verse 1]

They say I'm too young to love you

I don't know what I need

They think I don't understand

The freedom land of the seventies

I think I'm too cool to know ya

You say I'm like the ice I freeze

I'm churning out novels like

Beat poetry on amphetamines

(I say, I say)

(I say, I say)

[Verse 2]

Well, my girlfriend's in a band

She plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed

She's got feathers in her hair

I get down to beat poetry

And my jazz collection's rare

I can play 'most anything

I'm a Brooklyn baby

I'm a Brooklyn baby

(I say, I say)

(I say, I say)
