#5. "King of New York" by the Newsies
In nothing flat,
He'll be covering
Brooklyn to Trenton
Our man Denton
#4. "I Palindrome I" by They Might Be Giants
She king of Brooklyn she
Master of all she surveys
Lives a life unencumbered by me
She king of Brooklyn she
#3. "Downtown Train" by Tom Waits
The downtown trains are full
With all those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds
#2. "Joey" by Bob Dylan
Born in Red Hook, Brooklyn
In the year of who-knows-when
Opened up his eyes
To the tune of an accordion
#1. "No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn" by Beastie Boys
Ain't seen the light since we started this band
M.C.A., get on the mic my man
Born and bred Brooklyn, U.S.A
