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!
