Ain’t’cha got no rhymes for me?

morning

cobblestones

Lamp-post

flowers

dappled

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
