Neighborhood Lyrics


Funky beats, Barrow Street
Walking with your dogI see you, You see me
Then we stop & talkLater on, some cafe
Thinking what you saidChildren laugh, telling jokes
'Till their eyes are redThe people feel so good
Say boy, say girl
All in my neighborhood
Say boy, say girl
We got peace, love & monkey business
Gonna reach the very top
There'll be pride, hope & Sunday mornings
All the things I'm thinking of
We could change the world
In the night while we are sleeping
The Power's in my neighborhoodLiquor stores, stop & shop
Old folks sit outside
Restaurants - Laundromats
She's still on my mindApril, May, June, July

August comes around
Pretty soon, a years gone by
And we're still hanging outThe people feel so good
Say boy, say girl
All in my neighborhood
Say boy, say girl
We got peace love & monkey business
Gonna reach the very top
There'll be pride, hope & Sunday mornings
All the things I'm thinking of
We could change the world
In the night while we are sleepingNow the rich get richer
& the poor stay poor
& folks get restless
If it don't change soonBut there's a sweet sensation
Turnin bad to good
& things get better
In my neighborhoodSo burn on - you little candle - put your light into my head
There's a lone wolf - on the mountain - he's the friend you never had
We got peace, love & monkey business - gonna reach the very top
There'll be - pride, hope & Sunday mornings - all the things I'm thinking ofSo, come on down

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
