Hey let's party, let's get down, let's turn the radio on This is the meltdown Get out the camera, take a picture The drag queens and freaks are all out on the town And Cowboy Jane's in bed Nursing a swollen head Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov Don't like the scene anyhow I dropped acid on a Saturday night just to see what the fuss was about Now there goes the neighborhood The photo chick made to look sickly is standing in her panties, in the shower She plays guitar in the bathroom while the police dust her mother's plastic flowers And Schoolboy John's in jail Making a killing through the U.S. Mail Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov Don't like the scene anyhow I dropped acid on a Saturday night just to see what the fuss was about Now there goes the neighborhood Neighborhood Now there goes the neighborhood This is the movie of the screenplay of the book about a girl who meets a junkie The messenger gets shot down just for carrying the messages to a flunky We can't be certain who the villains are 'cause everyone's so pretty But the after party's sure to be a wing-ding as it moves into your city, oh Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov Don't like the scene anyhow I dropped acid on a Saturday night just to see what the stink was about Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov Don't like the scene anyhow I dropped acid on a Saturday night just to see what the fuss was about There goes the neighborhood Oh, Now there goes the neighborhood
