Here's a little serenade About a Brooklyn Babe How can I describe tie chick Let's do some arithmetic She's a 34-23-34 A killer on the dance floor Skin tight jeans And at fourteen She was seeing a marine Don't underestimate her She's as hot as a pepper She don't do the wash She don't do the cookin' She don't have to 'Cause she's good lookin' She don't like to go steady 'Cause she knows she ain't ready To get married and settle down 'Cause it's so much fun To run around She's bad, she's bad She's not afraid I go crazy Over Brooklyn Babe She's bad, she's bad The Brooklyn Babe Well let me tell you more About our heroine She's the baddest chick In all of Brooklyn She's Queen of the Hop Little Anthony's babe A fan of Doo-Wop Deadly with a switchblade Boppin' down Park Slope Cruisin' Bay Ridge Hangin' out under the El And the Brooklyn Bridge If you wanna be her boyfriend You better be Italian Your knuckles better crack Your hair greased back I've been all over the world There's nothin' like a Brooklyn Girl They come in all shapes and sizes And they are the most priceless Chicks on the planet earth And for what it's worth I wouldn't trade A Brooklyn Babe For all the money Rockefeller made Baby, Baby You're an angel You're such a sexy angel I want to make You my girl

Don't take away her whiskey don't take away her rye she'll show her fangs and spit in your eye Poor little rich girl a hopeless case everything she does is in bad taste You can find her on her favorite bar stool drinking with the guys an old drunken fool She goes to the local five and dime to buy her make-up and drink her wine Oh, she's a poor little rich girl A run in her stockings a lopsided wig she laughs to herself as she takes another swig The story goes on she couldn't get worse this chick keeps a bottle in her purse Oh, she's a poor little rich girl Poor little rich girl what a waste to her society friends the girl's a disgrace She's devil-may-care she's laissez-faire an out of control miserable millionaire So take some advice from Dee Dee King Money can't buy you everything Oh, she's a poor little rich girl

about

In 1989, DEE DEE RAMONE released his classic LP ‚Standing In the Spotlight‘ under his Rap alias DEE DEE KING on SIRE Records.
25 years later, on ‚Behind the Spotlight‘, Austrian DeeCRACKS and UK ZATOPEKS join their forces to pay a tribute to the legendary album. The 7“ features two cover versions by each band, and is a RAMONES MUSEUM BERLIN and STRIPED RECORDS release.
Manuel Cossu and Mass Mosrite (Manges) carried out the amazing artwork. A must-have for every Ramones fan or European punk rock enthusiast.
