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.
