Sittin' in your front yard, drinkin' lemonade

Suburban life, a pretty wife, you think you've got it made

But you don't know, what's in store, for you and your family

I'm movin' 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 kid's a punk, and I'm a drunk, this I'm sure you'll see

Yeah you don't know, what it's like, to live in misery

Welcome to, home sweet hell, dissatisfaction guaranteed

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?

Won't you be my neighbor?

Won't you be my neighbor?

Won't you be my neighbor?



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 livin' next to me

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...aaaah

Won't you be my, won't you be my funky(fuckin') neighbor?



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, a-haa

And you should know by now you're never gonna forget, a-aaa

Now I know just what you're thinkin'

It could be out 'n' you're drinkin'

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



Cool ending bit

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood

And I dig your wife, she sure is good

It's a beautiful day in the neighboorhood... ha, ha, ha
