New Kind of Neighborhood Songtext

von Jonathan Richman

Hey, hey, well, your friends they came from out of town
It was a new kind of neighborhood
And the neighbors stared but they didn't frown
New kind of neighborhood, new kind of neighborhood

Well your friends were dancing on the lawn
It was a new kind of neighborhood
And no one stared like something's wrong
New kind of neighborhood
Oh-wow-o, new kind of neighborhood

Well, wang-ady-dang-a-diggy, dang-ady-danga diggy
New kind of neighborhood
Wang-ady-dang-a-diggy, dang-ady-danga diggy
New kind of neighborhood
Oh-wow-o, new kind of neighborhood

Excuse me sir, could you tell me
Where this new neighborhood is that I've heard about?
Yeah, it's right up you go up there, there's a hill, right there
Yeah, yeah

Well, you go up the path, there's two paths
Oh really
And it's the second one, you'll find it
Okay

Well, your friends they came from out of town
It was a new kind of neighborhood
And the neighbors stared but they didn't frown
New kind of neighborhood
Oh-oh-oh, new kind of neighborhood

Well, now your friends were dancing on the lawn
It was a new kind of neighborhood
And no one acts like something's wrong
New kind of neighborhood
Wow-wow-wow, new kind of neighborhood

Well, wang-ady-dang-a-diggy, dang-ady-danga diggy
New kind of neighborhood
Wang-ady-dang-a-diggy, dang-ady-danga diggy
New kind of neighborhood
Oh-wow-o, new kind of neighborhood

Buddy, you know, could you help me one more time
'Cause I missed it the first time, I just misunderstood
I saw the second path but it didn't lead where I wanted to go

I know what you did
Look for the one with the little flags up there
They got little car flag
Okay, I'll find it now

Well, now your friends were dancing on the lawn
It was a new kind of neighborhood
And no one looks like something's wrong
Cut it's a new kind of neighborhood
Oh-oh-o, new kind of neighborhood
