The Neighbor Baby's fast asleep.
She's stired by a melody.
She's woken by a kick-drum beat
coming from across the street.
The Neighbor Lady pours a drink
as Daddy paces 'round the kitchen sink,
neither knowing what to think
of Neighbor Band on the brink.
They're practicing that brand new tune
that they've been playing for a week or two.
They've been playing in the living room.
Neighbors thinking, "gonna have to move."
Neighbors sayin', "They've been scaring the neighborhood
ever since they signed that lease.
If they didn't sound so good,
I'd probably call the police right now."
Right now, the neighbor lady's wide awake.
And it's because her baby's wide awake.
Well that's fine; It's not even late.
It's quater till; It's not even 8.
Oh no we're not scaring the neighborhood
(just once or twice disturbed the peace).
And if you think you should
go ahead call the police. They
play in a metal band,
playin' our house next weekend.
I hear they play pretty loud.
I hear rent's cheaper out of town or state.
Neighbor Baby's growin' old.
And she's been listenin' to rock n' roll.
And she's been playin' daddy's old guitar,
before she even learns to drive his car...
you know she'll be scaring the neighborhood
(just now and then disturbs the peace).
If she didn't sound so good,
I'd probably call the police. She
plays in a pop-punk band,
throwing house shows on weekends.
They're playing pretty loud
'cause Mom and Dad are out of town or state.
