Brooklyn The Musical movie - Witness to History lyrics
rate me<br>
STREETSINGER<br>
Yeah, they say if you were in attendance that<br>
night, then you, my friend, were a witness to<br>
history. Ah, but with a touch of mystery.<br>
You see, before her final bow, Brooklyn would always sing the "unfinished lullaby"<br>
<br>
BROOKLYN<br>
La la la la, la la, la la la la,<br>
La la la...<br>
<br>
STREETSINGER<br>
...though she would never sing the words.<br>
Y'see, if you remember, only one other<br>
person knew the words and she longed to<br>
hear his voice sing them back to her. So<br>
Brooklyn would us her new found fame in<br>
America to call for her father. Ah, but fame<br>
in the land of the pilgrim's pride ain't no fairy<br>
tale. You see, a lot of people want it, few get<br>
it, and once you got it, you ain't gonna ever<br>
give it up. Oh, and people let me tell you,<br>
nobody knew that better than the Brooklyn<br>
born and bred Ms. Paradice!<br>
<br>
PARADICE<br>
Now this may come as quite a little shock to<br>
you all, but I did'nt know me Daddy either.<br>
<br>
STREETSINGER<br>
A force of nature, a natural born world<br>
shaker. Born on Mean Street right across<br>
from Ugly Road, honed on hustle, raised on<br>
riot. Educated in the Red Hook projects, got<br>
her Ph.D. in survival, and would to whatever<br>
it takes to remain America's diva of the<br>
decade. Oh, and people, let me tell you,<br>
don'tchu ever musspell her name, that's<br>
P.a.r.a...<br>
<br>
PARADICE<br>
...d.i.c.e 'cause I was born on with nothin' but a<br>
pair-a-dice around my neck. And from that<br>
pair-a-dice, I built me a paradise. And no<br>
one...<br>
<br>
