Lyrics

Won't you come over and stay for a while?
Take a seat, have a drink, we'd have a nice time
Turn on the tv I believe it's prime time
I'll make you chicken cacciatore in five
There's a woman down at 314
Who can't keep the stains on her kitchen floor clean
And there's a man who's been knockin' on his door
For three years, or has it been four?
I don't wanna spend the winter in this house all alone
Those neighbors of mine keep coming on over and playing with my mind
I would like to love you
I sure would treat you right
We could take the trash out
Every thursday night
Here in my neighborhood there is the strangest thing -
Green buckets every friday at every driveway
They're filled with glasses, plastics, and newspapers, too
They say they recycle and bring them back to you
I would like to love you
I sure would treat you right
We could take the trash out
Every thursday night
We could be a family
Consume many goods
We could be the pillars
Of the neighborhood
Ah babe, I'm a real hard worker
With the proper tools, I'll make you anything you yearn for
The barbarians are at the gate
Come in before it's too late
I have food enough to last the two of us about a year
A thousand cans of chowder and a thousand cans of beer
I love my neighbors like I love my own brothers
But every year they're getting odder and odder
I would like to love you
I sure would treat you right
We could take the trash out
Every thursday night
We could be a family
Consume many goods
We could be the pillars
Of the neighborhood
