Brooklyn
Project Jenny Project Jan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's always sunny in Brooklyn
Without a cloud in the sky
Yes, it's always so sunny in Brooklyn,
All the streets, well, they're clean and dry

It's snowing up in Queens
It's foggy in Manhattan
It's raining in the Bronx
And it's sleetin' down in Staten

But it's always so sunny in Brooklyn
Without a cloud in the sky

I hatched a plan to move someplace sunny
Not like the cloudy places before
I went to the bank and I took out my money
Packed up my bags and walked out the door

I walked around the globe with my suitcase in my hand
Lookin' for a sunny place to work on my tan,
And I found that place without hardly lookin'
On the sunny streets of Brooklyn, yea

It's always sunny in Brooklyn (it's always sunny!)
Without a cloud in the sky

Yes, it's always so sunny in Brooklyn
All those streets, well, they're clean and dry

It's snowing up in Queens
It's foggy in Manhattan
It's raining in the Bronx
And it's sleetin' down in Staten

But it's always so sunny in Brooklyn
Without a cloud in the sky

Well, I met you down at the Fulton Mall
At that cellphone shop
We exchanged numbers, said gimme a call
That's when my heart did drop, oh well
We fell in love almost right away
And after that day, man, it never rained
We just kept on cookin'
On the sunny streets of Brooklyn

But it's always so sunny in Brooklyn
Without a cloud in the sky
Yea, it's always so sunny in Brooklyn
All those streets, well, they're clean and dry

It's snowing up in Queens
It's foggy in Manhattan
It's raining in the Bronx
And it's sleetin' down in Staten

But it's always so sunny in Brooklyn
Without a cloud in the sky (I really mean it!)




Without a cloud in the sky (last time tonight!)
Without a cloud in the sky

Overall Meaning

Project Jenny Project Jan's song "Brooklyn" is a light-hearted tribute to the sunny, clean, and welcoming vibe of Brooklyn, especially when comparing it to the other boroughs of New York City that are facing various weather challenges. The song starts by stating that it's always sunny in Brooklyn, the streets are clean and dry, and there isn't a cloud in the sky. The lyrics hilariously contrast Brooklyn's sunny weather with the weather challenges facing the other boroughs such as snow in Queens, fog in Manhattan, rain in the Bronx, and sleet in Staten. The singer then talks about how he hatched a plan to move to a sunny place, not like the cloudy places before, and stumbled upon Brooklyn, where he found not just sun but love as well.


The overall message of the song is that Brooklyn is a place of endless possibilities, where even the weather is always perfect. The singer falls in love on the sunny streets of Brooklyn, and it never rains again. The lyrics of the song may be humorous, but they serve as a testament to the resilience and positivity of Brooklynites. Despite the challenges of life in the city, Brooklynites keep a sunny disposition and make the most out of what they have.
