NOTES:
 
    The sheet music for "Let's Keep The Dodgers In Brooklyn" was published by Famous Music Corporation; music by Roy Ross, words by Sam Denoff and Bill Persk. Recorded by Phil Foster on Coral Records, the 1957 song was written as a futile plea to keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn. Foster, is best known for his role as Frank DeFazio, Laverne’s pizzeria-owning father, on the hit TV show “Laverne and Shirley.”

 With the words sung in Brooklynese, the recording left out the verse "Our Prospect Park is pretty, the pride of or great city, but offer it we gladly do; But until when Kingdom comes, please leave us wid our bums, O’Malley that’s all we want from you" it was instead replaced with "Billy, what would Brooklyn be without the Dodgers? Well Brooklyn will be, like a," then the song continues into the verse starting with, "Like a pair of socks that’s holey..."

  "Let's Keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn" - Lyrics 1957
Music by Roy Ross, words by Sam Denoff and Bill Persk.
 
  Say, did you hear the news about what’s happenin’ in Brooklyn?
 We really got the blues about what’s happenin’ in Brooklyn
 It ain’t official yet We hope official it don’t get
But beware my friend, and let me warn ya,
they’re think’ a taink’ the Bums to California

 Let’s keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn
A house is not a home without some love
Don’t let them leave our premises,
L.A. would be their nemises,
‘cause Brooklyn fits the Dodgers like a glove

Mister Walter O’Malley, we always called you “pally,”
we stuck with you through thick and thin
But if you take away the Dodgers,
guys like Campy, Newk and Hodges
We ain’t your pal so more the way we been

 Let’s keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn
A house is not a home without some love
Don’t let them leave our premises,
L.A. would be their nemises,
‘cause Brooklyn fits the Dodgers like a glove

We offer our bridges.
You can take ‘em wid yez,
we have a couple we could spare
But we’d all feel so glum
wid’out the Duke and Gilliam,
We’d need one left to jump off in despair

Our Prospect Park is pretty,
 the pride of or great city,
but offer it we gladly do;
But until when Kingdom comes,
please leave us wid our bums
O’Malley that’s all we want from you
"Billy, what would Brooklyn be without the Dodgers? Well Brooklyn will be, like a,"

Like a pair of socks that’s holey widout Jackson and Cimoli,
Like a bed widout a pillow Oskine and Furillo,
 Like a ship widout a harbor widout Podres and the Barber
 Like the sun when it don’t shine widout Zimmer and Labine
Like the boids widout a bee widout Alston and Pewee
And here I am a poet and I didn’t even know it

So send the Phils to Trenton, the Giants to St. Paul,
but keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn, the greatest borough of all
So let’s keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn
You’ve heard our plea, at last we had our say
Your mind is in a fog, if you take them to that smog
Leave the Dodgers in Brooklyn in, U.S.A. We really love ‘em,
Keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn, U.S.A.
