There Goes The Neighborhood

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

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

take a picture,

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


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

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Verse]
A#  


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

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


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

Now there goes the neighborhood.


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

Now there goes the neighborhood.


[Verse]
A#  


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

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


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