…auf eine nette Nachbarschaft

sitting in your front yard drinking lemonade
suburban life - a pretty wife
you think you got it made!

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?

it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood
and i hope i didn’t ruin your day!!
won’t you be my neighbor!?

i brought my life - my ugly wife
my dirty dog with fleas!
my kids are 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
satisfaction guaranteed!

it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood
and if i could i surely would
invite you and say
won’t you be my neighbor…

come on 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!!

it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood
rah! won’t you be now, won’t you be
my funky neighbour!?

well i drink and i stink — i smoke. well i’m a joke

now i know just what you’re thinking
it could be you out and you’re drinking
so 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!!
