• Lyrics:
  It's gay to ramble out at night with some nice girl so true;
  Then in the lovely pale moonlight, to care we bid adieu!
  The ferry boat once took us home, my little girl and me;
  Now o'er the Brooklyn Bridge we roam, when moon-light tints the sea.
  
  chorus:
  Strolling o'er the Brooklyn Bridge, dreamy hours go by;
  Whispering words of fond delight, 'neath the starry sky!
  Happy as the dancing waves, hearts are lost and won
  We fondly stray with hearts so gay, upon the Brooklyn Bridge!
  
  Some love to ramble in the park, when sunset hours are near;
  Some love to linger after dark, while stars are shining clear;
  But give to me the pathway sweet, above the waters blue;
  It's on the Brooklyn Bridge we meet, I and my darling true!
  
  'Twas there our vows of love we told, 'twas there she gave to me;
  A promise dearer far than gold, that ever true we'll be,
  So, in the years that pass us by, I never shall forget,
  Those walks beneath the moonlit sky, where first my love I met.
