Lyrics There Goes The Neighborhood

Right New York
We’re gonna thank all you for coming
Wanna thank all my guests tonight
It’s been a great pleasure for us to play for you
We’ll see ya later

Hey let's party
Let's get down
Let's turn the radio on
This is the meltdown
Get out the camera
Take a picture
The drag queens and the freaks
Are all out on the town
And cowboy Jane's in bed
Nursing a swollen head

Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustinov
Don't like the scene any how
I dropped acid on a Saturday night
Just to see what the fuss was about
Now there goes the neighborhood

The photo chick made to look sickly
Is standing in her panties in the shower
She plays the guitar in the bathroom
While the police dust her mother's plastic flowers
And Schoolboy John's in jail
Making a killing through the U.S. mail

Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustinov
Don't like the scene any how
I tried acid on a Saturday night
Just to see what the fuss was about
Now there goes the neighborhood
Neighborhood
Now there goes the neighborhood

This is the movie of the screenplay
Of the book about a girl who meets a junkie
The messenger gets shot down
Just for carrying the message to a flunkie
We can't be certain who the villains are 'cuz everyone's so pretty
But the afterparty's sure to be a wing-ding as it moves into your city

Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustinov
Don't like the scene any how
I tried acid on a Saturday night
Just to see what the sting was about
Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustinov
Don't like the scene any how
I dropped acid on a Saturday night
Just to see what the fuss was about
Now there goes the neighborhood

There goes the neighborhood

Let’s hear it for my guests
The Dixie Chicks
Chrissie Hynde
Sarah McLaughlan
Eric Clapton
Stevie Nicks
And Keith Richards
Thank you New York City
We’ll see you around
