There Goes The Neighborhood

[Verse]
C  
Hey let's party, let's get

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

take a picture,

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


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

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Verse]
C  


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

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


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

Now there goes the neighborhood.


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

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Verse]
C  


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

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


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