Brooklyn Dodgers Lyrics

I look at a graveyard
While I'm in the shower
And I, I sing my songs
Well not in the morning
When the water is boiling
Late, late at night
I think to myself

(Chorus)
Whatever happened to the Brooklyn Dodgers?
Whatever happened to me?
Whatever happened to all the New York gentleman?
Well my daddy said son..
You're looking at one

Then there's my dad
He jokes about the times
That he's had back when he was hippie
And how our relatives
Changed their names
Just to seem more American

(Chorus)

Hey hey hey hey hey
You go your own way
Hey hey hey heyy
We'll start to fix it, hey

Whatever happened to the brooklyn dodgers?
Whatever happened to me?
Whatever happened to all the New York gentleman?
Did they just float out to sea?
Whatever happened to all the New York gentleman?
My daddy said son..
You're lookin at one
You're lookin at one

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think there are a couple of inaccuracies in the lyrics because you have the demo version up, but here's my interpretation:

I feel like this song is about those moments when you look back at your life and realize how much you've changed over the years, how you might've grown up believing you would be one thing and end up being something completely different because you've adapted yourself to new situations. His father is a grown gentleman now, but once was a hippie. The relatives changing their names, "We go our own way."

It could also be about a dying music scene, or its just asking something like "where have all the good people gone?"

I'm probably over-thinking it, but whatever.
