There Goes The Neighborhood

[Verse]
D#  
Hey let's party, let's get

down, let's turn the radio on,
            F#
This is the meltdown.
            D#  
Get out the camera,

take a picture,

The drag queens and the freaks
            F#
Are all out on the town.
    G#                B
And cowboy Jane's in bed
G#                 B
Nursing a swollen head.


[Chorus]
D#                    F#
Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustinov
      B                 G#
Don't like the scene anyhow.
D#                   F#
I dropped acid on a Saturday night
        B        
  Just to see what
               G#
the fuss was about.

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Verse]
D#  


The photo chick made to look sickly
                   
  Is standing in her
                F#
panties in the shower.
              D#  
She plays the guitar

in the bathroom
                          
  While the police dust her
                  F#
mother's plastic flowers.
    G#                  B
And Schooboy John's in jail
G#                        
  Making a killing through
     B
the U.S. mail.


[Chorus]
D#                    F#
Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustinov
      B                 G#
Don't like the scene anyhow.
D#                   F#
I dropped acid on a Saturday night
        B        
  Just to see what
               G#
the fuss was about.

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Interlude]
D# F# B G#
        D#  F#  B  G#
Neighborhood.

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Verse]
D#  


This is the movie of the screenplay of the book
                         F#
about a girl who meets a junkie.
        D#
The messenger gets shot down just
                 
  for carrying the
              F#
message to a flunkie.
D#  
We can't be certain

who the villans
                       F#
are 'cuz everyone's so pretty
        D#
But the afterparty's sure to be
                  
  a wing-ding as it
                 F#
moves into your city.


[Chorus]
D#                    F#
Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustinov
      B                 G#
Don't like the scene anyhow.
D#                   F#
I dropped acid on a Saturday night
        B        
  Just to see what
               G#
the fuss was about.
D#                    F#
Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustinov
      B                 G#
Don't like the scene anyhow.
D#                   F#
I dropped acid on a Saturday night
        B        
  Just to see what
              G#
the fuss was about.
                             D#  F#  B  G#
Now there goes the neighborhood.
          D#  F#  B  G#
Neighborhood.
                             D#
Now there goes the neighborhood.
