It’s That Kind of a Neighborhood

[DINO]
It's that kind of a neighborhood—

[ALL]
That kind of a neighborhood!

[DINO]
Share and share alike—

[HANK]
That's the way to be!

[ARTIE & RAY]
I share with you—

[BOBBY]
I share with me

[ALL]
It's that kind of a neighborhood
That kind of a neighborhood!

[HANK]
We never, never kick a fellow when he's down—

[TED]
Unless, of course, he comes from out of town
[DINO]
All of us are for brotherhood—

[BOYS]
For brotherhood!

[RAY]
All of us are for motherhood—

[GIRLS]
For motherhood!

[HANK & TED]
All of us are for each and every other hood—

[ALL]
Other hood!

[ARTIE]
All of us are for hoods

[ALL]
It's that kind of a neighborhood
That kind of a neighborhood

Fair Brooklyn
Pride of the port of New York!
[HANK, DINO & RAY]
Thеre's a friendly golf course with greens

[GIRLS]
And a friеndly hash house with beans

[BOBBY, TED & ARTIE]
There's a friendly clink whence
Come juvenile delinquents

[ALL]
But they were born in Queens!

Fair Brooklyn—
Look at the cop on the beat
As he does his job he takes pride

[CELESTE]
And a little graft on the side

[BOYS]
His badge has luster—
When he says, "Move on, buster!"

[ALL]
You feel all teary-eyed
[GIRLS]
We love the homes of Brooklyn

[BOYS]
The dives of Brooklyn

[ALL]
The streets of Brooklyn

[BOBBY]
The wives of Brooklyn

[ALL]
We're proud of every thoroughfare
In this borough, fair
Brooklyn!
The pride of
The thorn in the side of
New York!

It's that kind of a neighborhood
Our kind of a neighborhood
We're proud of our neighborhood
Even if the world doesn't approve!
And besides
Who can afford to—
Who can afford to—
Who can afford to move?
