Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sitting in your front yard
Drinking lemonade
Suburban life, a pretty wife
You think you've got it made
[Verse 2]
But you don't know
What's in store
For you and your family
I'm moving in
Right next door
Won't you welcome me?
[Verse 3]
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
And I hope I didn't ruin your day
Won't you be my neighbor?
[Verse 4]
Yeah, I brought my life
My ugly wife
My dirty dog with fleas
My kid's a punk
And I'm a drunk
But this I'm sure you'll see
And you don't know
What it's like
To live in misery
Welcome to
Home sweet hell
Dissatisfaction guaranteed
[Verse 5]
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
And if I could I surely would
Invite you in and say
Won't you be my neighbor?
Oh, won't you be my neighbor?
Oh, won't you be my neighbor?
How could you be my neighbor?
I want you be my neighbor
[Verse 6]
Now c'mon I don't think you'll find
A place to live in peace of mind
You're gonna live in misery
When you're living next to me
[Verse 7]
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
Ra! Won't you be now, won't you be my fuckin' neighbor?
[Verse 8]
Well I drink
And I stink
I smoke
Yeah, I'm a joke
I try all night and day to get a piece of the action
And you should know by now you're never gonna forget
I know just what you're thinkin'
It could be you out and you're 'n drinkin'
Don't you knock it until you try it
It could be you in a little while
I hope I didn't ruin your day
[Verse 9]
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
And I dig your wife, she sure is good
A beautiful day in the neighborhood
Yeah, hahaha
