There Goes The Neighborhood

It came as kind of a shock

But it started with the neighbors down the block

Big motorcycles and heavy metal rock

Steppenwolf and ZZ Top

There goes the neighborhood

I want peace and quiet that’s why I moved to the woods

Now it’s hot cars and loud music ’til the wee wee hours

I wish they’d stick to folk music and flower power

Rock and Rollers and bikers, hot rodders, too

don’t know what the heck I’m gonna do

Might have to sell my place and move outa state

I wish they’d shut the hell up, yeah, that’d be great

There goes the neighborhood

my once quiet street in now like crazy town

Callin’ the cops won’t do any good,

can’t stop the crazy people from hangin’ around

There goes the neighborhood

so much for peace and quiet no more tranquillity

This place gives new meaning to wildlife,

rock ‘n roll will be the end of me
