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 the 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 drunk,

But 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, now,

Won't you be my funky neighbour?! Well I drink and I stink,

I smoke, I'm a joke!

I try all night and day to get a piece of the action, a--aaa!

And you should know by now you're never gonna forget it

Now I know just what are you're thinkin'

It could be you 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

A beautiful day in the neighbourhood...ha, ha.
