Lyrics

Alexander, our older brother
Set out for a great adventure
He tore our images out of his pictures
He scratched our names out of all his letters

Our mother shoulda just named you laika!

Come on alex, you can do it
Come on alex, there's nothin' to it
If you want somethin' don't ask for nothin
If you want nothin' don't ask for somethin'!

Our mother shoulda just named you laika!
It's for your own good
It's for the neighborhood!
For the neighborhood

Our older brother bit by a vampire!
For a year we caught his tears in a cup
And now we're gonna make him drink it
Come on alex don't die or dry up!

Our mother shoulda just named you laika!
It's for your own good
It's for the neighborhood!

When daddy comes home you always start a fight
So the neighbors can dance in the police disco lights
The police disco lights
Now the neighbors can dance! (x4)
