America's

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 neighborhood
And I hope I didn't ruin your day
Won't you be my neighbor?

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 neighborhood
And if I could I surely would
Invite you in and say
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you be my neighbor?

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 neighborhood...aaaah
Won't you be my, won't you be my funky(fuckin') neighbor?

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

Cool ending bit
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
And I dig your wife, she sure is good
It's a beautiful day in the neighboorhood... ha, ha, ha

Chorus
This time, this time I love you
Last time, last time I hate you
Next time, next time I need you
Baby please don't go

Remember when I met you
School dress on
I never could forget you
And Baby now you're gone

I'm goin' around, around today
Just tryin' to find the truth
It doesn't really matter anyway
When I'm livin' without you

Chorus

I said come on little darlin'
Baby don't you see
I'd never do you harmin', no
It's just you and me

I'm in the corner right now
Waiting for your love
You better make your choice now
Before a push comes to a shove
Yeah things seem kinda different
It ain't the way it was
Remember what your mama said
The bond that lies is us

Chorus

I'm by the phone, I'm all alone
Just waitin' and a prayin' that maybe you'll call
I gotta know right now, should I stay around, should I stay a while
Should I stand here crying or baby should I fly - yeah!

Oh come on darlin', Don't you se and don't you know,
I gotta have your lovin', now now I'll never let you go
Tryin' to find that girl of mine
She's so far away
And I am cryin' - yeah!

Disneyland is the place to be, c'mon baby, just you and me;
Hand in Hand, to Disneyland, we go! Not Slow;
Happiest place, in the world 'til the madman grabs a girl;
Hand in Hand, with the madman, she goes! Oh oh!

Chorus
Knife gleamin' no feelin's, axe wieldin', child stealin',
Madman is loose.... in Disneyland (in Disneyland)

Come here little girl if you wanna see, Peter Pan's magic flight on L.S.D.
Up and down, all around, we go! Whoa oh!

Repeat Chorus

Madman is loose in Disneyland; He's back here by popular demand;
Madman is loose in Disneyland; He'll take no lip but he'll take your head!

Surprise, Surprise, I'm comin' at ya' live;
I sure as hell ain't Mickey Mouse, I'm a killer in disguise
You can run and you can hide;
But you ain't gettin' away 'cause I got you in my sight;

Axe Wieldn', child Stealin';
I'm a mad mother and I'm loose!... in Disneyland!

Have you heard the news, madman sure is loose,
Got you by the noose, have his way with you;
Nothin' you can do, headline in the news,
madman sure is loose in Disneyland.

Disneyland is the place to be, in California, by the sea;
Sunny day, were A.O.K., for now, and how;

Repeat Chorus

My child arrived just the other day
Came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
He was talkin' 'fore I knew it
And as he grew he said,
'I'm gonna be like you, Dad,
You know I'm gonna be like you.'

Chorus
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man 'n the moon.
'When you comin' home?'
'Son, I don't know when. We'll get together then.
You know we'll have a good time then.'

Well, my son turned ten just the other day.
He said, 'Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let's play.
Could you teach me to throw?'
I said, 'Not today. I got a lot to do.'
He said, 'That's okay.' And he walked away and he smiled and he said,
'You know, I'm gonna be like him, yeah.
You know I'm gonna be like him.'

Chorus

Well, he came from college just the other day,
So much like a man I just had to say,
'I'm proud of you. Could you sit for a while?'
He shook his head and he said with a smile,
'What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.
See you later. Can I have them please ?'

Chorus

I've long since retired, my son's moved away.
I called him up just the other day.
'I'd like to see you, if you don't mind.'
He said, 'I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time.
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu,
But it's sure nice talkin' to you, Dad.
It's been sure nice talkin' to you.'
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
He'd grown up just like me.
My boy was just like me.

Chorus

I wanna know, why the people are everywhere... and...
I wanna know, where to go if I get scared... and...
I wanna be, in a place where no one cares, and...

I, I, I wanna know you!
'Cause you're so damn cool!
Yeah, you're so damn cool!

I wanna feel like I'm floatin' in the air... and...
I wanna know if the sun'ss gonna bleach my hair... and
I wanna know why life's so unfair and...

I wanna know you!
Because you're so damn cool!
Yeah, you're so damn cool!

Who knows what I'm feelin' inside of me!
And who knows if I'm feelin' all right!
Who knows what I'm feelin' inside of me
Who knows what is runnin' around in my brain

Now that I'm done and I seen it
And don't think that I'm tryin' to complain
Don't think I'm lyin' 'cause I mean it
n' all you people out there don't look at me to lay
all of your blame 'cause you need me
and you want me to go down
in flames with the rest
But I'm so sick of denyin'
What is runnin' around in my brain

Chorus
Mr. Recordman, do you know who I am?
Mr. Recordman, do you really think I can?

I've takin' a likin' to your game
I think we all, we feel the same
Is this a dream or is it real
You say you want to cut a deal?

Chorus

Don't need much time to think about
I'm sure that you have got the clout
I only hope that you're my friend
And stand by me until the end

Chorus

Sell a lotta records 'n' tour 'round the world,
Make a lotta money 'n' meet lotsa' girls
Mr. Recordman, do you really think I can?

It sound like music to my ears
I've dreamed of this for many years

Sell a lotta records 'n' tour 'round the world,
Make a lotta money 'n' meet lotsa' girls
Have a lot of fun and hang with my bro's
'Cause these boys and this band is all that I know

If not for the money and not for the show
Are you here for me or here for the dough?
Mr. Recordman, do you really give a damn?

Sittin' on a rusty park bench baby
Not much else to do
Smoke cigarettes and rink my Mickey's
Fine malt liquor brew
As I start drinkin' and I start thinkin'
That death is on my side
If my heart stopped beatin', the street kept reekin'
That's suicide.... that's right!

I grew up in the inner city
A dark part of this town
Just another innocent backwoods victim
Society like to put down
You can call me a boozer, or call me a loser
It really doesn't matter to me
I got a bench for snoozin', some sauce to keep boozin'
That's all I neeed

Chorus
I keep it comin', sometimes I don't know why
I'm gonna do it 'til the day i die

Consider me the duke as I dine in your dumpster
Unsanitary engineer
Baron of the bench the panhandlin' master
Well, I'm pullin' twenty G's a year
I know it ain't much but at least I'm in touch, yeah
With reality
And I wouldn't trade no places to be in rat races
No siree!

Chorus

Yo, Mr. Trump, can I ask you a question
You got some spare change for me sucker?
'Cause I'm down and out and there ain't no doubt
That I am here to stay

Yeah you see me lyin' with my brothers
In the gutter with my paper bag in hand
Yeah the streets are cold but at least
There's soul and that's all I need!

You'll take away my peace of mind
You'll leave me there to rot and die
But look again, my careless friend
The world you live is just a lie
It's a give and take, the more the fake
The more the pain, the more you lose
Live your life, don't take no sides
N'seize the day and drink your booze!
