lyrics

THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD
by: Lynne Thomas & Greg Perkins

There goes the neighborhood
Oh, oh, oh, there goes the neighborhood
Us girls all know that she’s no damn good
Oh, oh, oh, there goes the neighbor hood

Just yesterday she moved in down the street
Welcome wagon full of curiosity
Like they’re raised from the dead all the men come alive
To check out this girl in the tight Levis

(Chorus)
Oh, oh, oh, there goes the neighborhood
Oh, oh, oh, there goes the neighborhood
Us girls all know that she’s no damn good
Oh, oh, oh, there goes the neighbor hood

Lying in the sun in her own back yard
All the men outside pretend they’re working hard
Straining their necks to watch her turn around
Some clown mowed my garden down

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Lord have mercy, they can’t leave her alone
There’s the signal
Flip the porch light twice means she’s home alone

Something cooking in her kitchen, someone on their way
Sizzling young hunk pulls in her driveway
Where on earth’s she been hiding him?
They’ll burn the house down if she lets him in

(Chorus)

There goes the neighborhood
Oh, oh, oh, there goes the neighborhood
Us girls all know that she’s no damn good
Oh, oh, oh, there goes the neighbor hood
