Song Lyrics

Hey, hey, well, your friends they came from out of town
It was a new kind of neighborhood
And the neighbors stared but they didn't frown
New kind of neighborhood, new kind of neighborhood

Well your friends were dancing on the lawn
It was a new kind of neighborhood
And no one stared like something's wrong
New kind of neighborhood
Oh-wow-o, new kind of neighborhood

Well, wang-ady-dang-a-diggy, dang-ady-danga diggy
New kind of neighborhood
Wang-ady-dang-a-diggy, dang-ady-danga diggy
New kind of neighborhood
Oh-wow-o, new kind of neighborhood

"Excuse me sir, could you tell me
Where this new neighborhood is that I've heard about?"
Yeah, it's right up, there's a hill, right there
Yeah, yeah

Well, you go up the path, there's two paths"
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, yeah
And it's the second one, you'll find it"
"Okay"

Well now, your friends they came from out of town
It was a new kind of neighborhood
And the neighbors stared but they didn't frown
New kind of neighborhood
Oh-wow-o, new kind of neighborhood

Well now, your friends were dancing on the lawn
New kind of neighborhood
And no one acts like something's wrong
New kind of neighborhood
Wow-wow-wow, new kind of neighborhood

I say, wang-ady-dang-a-diggy, dang-ady-danga diggy
New kind of neighborhood
Wang-ady-dang-a-diggy, dang-ady-danga diggy
New kind of neighborhood
Oh-wow-o, new kind of neighborhood

"Buddy, you know, could you help me one more time
'Cause I missed it the first time, I just misunderstood
I saw the second path but it didn't lead where I wanted to go"

"I know what you did
Look for the one with the little flags up there
They got little cloth flags"
"Okay, I'll find it now"

Well, now your friends were dancing on the lawn
It was a new kind of neighborhood
And no one looks like something's wrong
'Cause it's a new kind of neighborhood
Oh-oh-o, new kind of neighborhood
