Rockin' the Suburb (feat. William Shatner) ['Over the Hedge' Version]

Let me tell y'all what it's like

Watchin' Idol on a Friday night

In a house built safe and sound

On Indian burial grounds, sham on

We drive our cars everyday

To and from work both ways

So we make just enough to pay

To drive our cars to work each day, hey, hey

We're rocking the suburbs

Around the block just one more time

We're rocking the suburbs

'Cause I can't tell which house is mine

We're rocking the suburbs

We part the shades and face the facts

They've got better-looking fescue

Right across the cul-de-sac

Hot real-estate rising stars

Get-rich-quick seminars

Soap opera magazines

Forty-thousand-watt nativity scenes

Don't freak about the smoke alarm

Mom left the TV dinner on

We're rocking the suburbs

From Family Feuds to Chevy Chase

We're rocking the suburbs

Numb the muscles in our face

We're rocking the suburbs

We feed the dog and mow the lawn

Watching Mommy balance the checks

While Daddy juggles credit cards

(Hi, sorry to bother you, the name's Bill, I live just across the street)

(Yeah, that's right, over there, no, no, not that house)

(The one next to it, with the extra flower bed)

(Oh, and here's all your papers from the last few days)

(They were just piling up on the driveway)

(Where the whole neighborhood could see them)

(Not that that's a problem, of course)

(But that, and the grass being a little overgrown)

(Might give someone the impression you were out of town)

(And you wouldn't want that)

(I've got to be going shortly to a little class I've been attending)

(I just, no, no, no, no, not pottery, or anything like that)

(It's, uh, an anger management class actually, and)

(Speaking of that very class, they've been emphasizing)

(Finding some common ground with people before you confront them)

(To avoid becoming violent, you know?)

(Well, actually, we do have a few things in common)

(Here, could you take these papers? They're getting my suit wet)

(And, as I was saying, we do live on the same cul-de-sac)

(That's common ground)

(And I believe, we actually have the same house plan)

(Except the reverse, your garage is on the left and mine's on the)

(No, it wasn't me that dialed 9-1-1 at 6:31PM Wednesday)

(About your son's noisy rock band)

(Anyway, it's about your dog, and, of course, about our garbage)

(And some of the neighbors' garbage cans, no, I'm sorry)

(It is your dog whose been strewing garbage around the block)

(And I have digital evidence complete with red eye reduction)

(Which I will email to you to prove that it is, in fact, your dog)

(Now, I have to warn you that I have a black belt in karate, too)

(And I surely don't mind using it if necessary)

(No, not on you, ma'am, on your stinking dog)

We're rocking the suburbs

Everything we need is here

We're rocking the suburbs

But it wasn't here last year

We're rocking the suburbs

You'll never know when we are gone

Because the timer lights the front

And turns the cricket noises on each night

Yeah, yeah, we're rocking the suburbs

Yeah, yeah, we're rocking the suburbs
