2. Because that is the "Title"....

and because the song is about smoking pot and going across the 59th street bridge...

Other than that there is NO REASON...

added; The 59th street bridge is the Queensboro bridge...here is a link to a WIKI article on the song:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_59th_Street_Bridge_Song_(Feelin'_Groovy)

Sorry - I didn't mean to take you seriously, but I got carried away.
