Well There Goes the Neighborhood
WELL THERE BLOWS THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Is it all about two promises and two hearts set upon the same goal?
Or is two about two beings becoming one, sharing the very same soul?
Or is it more about the places they go and the people they meet?
Or does a wife somewhere weep because her husband has been indiscreet?
Take for instance backyard bar-b-ques with Bill with Betty and cute little Billy
After taken in cogently doesn’t this, with forthrightness, all seem rather quite silly?
Not tonight I can’t hon, don’t you remember I have a meeting with that client from
Argentina
But don’t say a word to the neighbors what we know about Marge and Tina
Oh you mean those two sassy blondes with matching pony tails and pink rubber
bands
Listen honey, you’ve got to know they do a hell of a lot more than hold hands
Well my dear, we don’t talk about things like that in this glorious neighborhood
Look old lady, shove it because your talking isn’t doing a damned bit of good
Or is it about verve vying with vows one never meant?
Or is it the spirit of sprites, two lovers, one springtime, were sent?
Marge, Tina, the mortgage, little Billy needs a new bike
Little Billy’s old one is in perfect condition so tell him to take a hike
Is it about nurturing, tolerance and patience and finding favor with good?
Or is it about a shallow existence in the above mentioned mother f*****g
neighborhood?
