  • A race of angels bound with one another
    A dish of dollars laid out for all to see
    A tower room at Eden Rock
    His golf at noon for free

    Brooklyn owes the charmer under me
    Brooklyn owes the charmer under me

    His lady's aching to bring a body down
    She daily preaches on where she wants to be
    An evening with a movie queen
    A face we all have seen

    Brooklyn owes the charmer under me
    Brooklyn owes the charmer under me

    A case of aces done up loose for dealing
    A piece of island cooling in the sea
    The whole of time we gain or lose
    And power enough to choose

    Brooklyn owes the charmer under me
    Brooklyn owes the charmer under me

    Yeah, Brooklyn owes the charmer under me
    Brooklyn owes the charmer under me Writer/s: Donald Fagen, Donald Jay Fagen, Walter Carl Becker
