ROOMFUL OF BLUES
"There Goes The Neighborhood"
(Earl Cate / Ernie Cate / Leroy Preston)

She just moved in
Painted her house bright blue
Every bodies talking
Wondering what she's up to

She's got long blond hair
And everything else it takes
Curious eyes
Watch every move she makes

I can't help thinking
She's misunderstood
Oh. when people start saying
There goes the neighborhood

Women love to gossip
Men they love to look
Peeking through the blinds
While the phone's ringin' off the hook

All the kids are fine
And hang out after school
And they go home
And tell their folks she's cool

I can't help from thinking
She's misunderstood
When people start saying
There goes the neighborhood
Oh, when people start saying
There goes the neighborhood

Where are the words
I need some help
I just stopped
To introduce myself

I hope she's here to stay
I hope she's here for good
'Cause if she ever moves away
There goes the neighborhood

I hope she's here to stay
I hope she's here for good
'Cause if she ever moves away
There goes the neighborhood
'Cause if she ever moves away
There goes the neighborhood

Hey, hey, yeah
