A young man from Brooklyn, Jose
Fell in love with a gal from the Bronx named Faye
But he left her brokenhearted
Their relationship, barely started
Jose decided Faye lived too far away
Then he fell for a gal named Marcy
Compared to Faye, didn't live quite as far, see
She lived in Flatbush
Jose dumped Marcy's tush
Where she lived, there was no place to park, see
Jose was depressed, felt so blue
Didn't know anyone who
Could set up a mtch
He was such a good catch
What on Earth should Jose do?
Jose, looking for a gal who lives close? Gee
I know a gal, name is Josie
You don't need a car
She doesn't live far
Two blocks from you in Canarsie, Josie go see!
