Ain’t’cha got no rhymes for me?
fast
knowing
keep
morning
cobblestones
Lamp-post
flowers
drowsy
petals
Slow down, you move too fast
You’ve got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feelin’ groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feelin’ groovy
Hello, lamp-post, what’cha knowing?
I’ve come to watch your flowers growing
Ain’t’cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in doo-doo, feelin’ groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feelin’ groovy
I’ve got no deeds to do No promises to keep
I’m dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me
Life, I love youAll is groovy
The 59° Street Bridge (officially, the Queensboro Bridge), goes over the East River in New York City, connecting Queens to Manhattan.
Today we listened to “The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)”, written and performed by Simon & Garfunkel.
It is taken from their third studio album, called “Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme” and realeased in 1966.
Despite being one of Simon & Garfunkel's best known songs, this was never a hit for them.
Simon & Garfunkel were an American folk-rock duo consisting of guitarist/singer-songwriter Paul Simon and singer Art Garfunkel.
The duo recorded many beautiful songs during their activity between 1963 and 1970, among which there are: The sound of silence, Mrs. Robinson, Kathy’s song, Homeward bound, America, The only living boy in New York, Bridge over troubled water, The Boxer, El Condor Pasa (If I could), Scarborough Fair, For Emily, Old Friends.
“I remember coming home in the morning about 6 o'clock over the 59th Street Bridge in New York, and it was such a groovy day really, a good one, and it was one of those times when you know you won't be tired for about an hour, a sort of a good hanging time, so I started to write a song that later became ‘The 59th Street Bridge Song ‘”. Paul Simon, 1966
