00:01Thank you so much.

00:02Now, you know, in the beginning of our show,

00:04I said that the Las Vegas Hilton

00:06is my new home away from home,

00:08but as I've been saying during the whole show,

00:10I actually come from Brooklyn, New York.

00:14I loved...

00:16Oh, right.

00:18I love you guys doing this.

00:20I get to be stripped by my favorite girls.

00:23Anyway, so...

00:25So, anyway, I come from Brooklyn, New York,

00:27and I loved... I loved...

00:29Am I okay?

00:30All right.

00:31I love my family. I love growing up there. Thanks.

00:33I loved growing up in Brooklyn. I love my family. I love my friends.

00:36But I couldn't...

00:37When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to get out of Brooklyn

00:39because I wanted to start my life, you know?

00:41And as soon as I got out,

00:43I got homesick. I wanted to get back.

00:45Isn't that always the way, like, you know,

00:47the grass is always greener on the other side of the orchestra pit?

00:50So, we wrote this song about that feeling,

00:53and let's do it for you.

00:55Okay.

00:56I'll kick it off.

00:59I'll kick it off.

01:00Go!

01:04Go!

01:07Okay, here's my story.

01:09See, I flew in from the West Coast just the other day.

01:17Yes, I flew in from the West Coast, and we circled JFK.

01:24The movie ended, and I pulled out the shade.

01:29Looked out the window while the music played.

01:34But in my head I'm singing, singing the Brooklyn blues.

01:41Oh, yeah.

01:42Oh, yeah.

01:43Oh, yeah.

01:44Go, George.

01:46George Shelby playing sax.

01:48When you're growing up in Brooklyn, the bridge is like a friend.

01:56Said, when you're growing up in Brooklyn, that bridge is sure your friend.

02:08Because that river looks a hundred miles wide.

02:12When all your dreams are on the other side.

02:17And that can start you singing, singing those Brooklyn blues.

02:25Oh, yeah!

02:26Yeah!

02:27Oh, yeah!

02:28Oh, yeah!

02:29Oh, yeah.

02:30Oh yeah.

02:31Oh, yeah!
