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 neighbourhood
And I hope I didn't ruin your day
Won't you be my neighbour
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 neighbourhood
And if I could I surely would
Invite you in and say
Won't you be my neighbour
Won't you be my neighbour
Won't you be my neighbour
Won't you be my neighbour
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 neighbourhood
Raaaah ! Won't you be my, won't you be my
funky neighbour
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
It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood
I dig your wife, she sure is good
It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood... ha, ha, ha
