There Goes the Neighborhood lyrics

Hey let's party

Let's get down

Let's turn the radio on

This is the meltdown

Get out the camera

Take a picture

The drag queens and the freaks

Are all out on the town

And cowboy Jane's in bed

Nursing a swollen head

Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov

Don't like the scene any how

I dropped acid on a Saturday night

Just to see what the fuss was about

Now there goes the neighborhood

The photo chick made to look sickly

Is standing in her panties in the shower

She plays the guitar in the bathroom

While the police dust her mother's plastic flowers

And Schoolboy John's in jail

Making a killing through the U.S. mail

Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov

Don't like the scene any how

I dropped acid on a Saturday night

Just to see what the fuss was about

Now there goes the neighborhood

This is the movie of the screenplay

Of the book about a girl who meets a junkie.

The messenger gets shot down

Just for carrying the message to a flunkie.

We can't be certain who the villans are 'cuz everyone's so pretty

But the afterparty's sure to be a wing-ding as it moves into your

city

Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov

Don't like the scene any how

I dropped acid on a Saturday night

Just to see what the fuss was about

Now there goes the neighborhood

There goes the neighborhood

There goes the neighborhood
