In The Neighborhood Lyrics - Swordfishtrombones - Tom Waits

Well the eggs chase the bacon 

round the fryin' pan 

and the whinin' dog pidgeons 

by the steeple bell rope 

and the dogs tipped the garbage pails 

over last night 

and there's always construction work 

bothering you 

in the neighborhood 

in the neighborhood 

in the neighborhood 

Friday's a funeral 

and saturday's a bride 

sey's got a pistol on the register side 

and the goddamn delivery trucks 

they make too much noise 

and we don't get our butter 

delivered no more 

in the neighborhood 

in the neighborhood 

in the neighborhood 

Well big mambo's kicking 

his old grey hound 

and the kids can't get ice cream 

'cause the market burned down 

and the newspaper sleeping bags 

blow down the lane 

and that goddamn flatbed's 

got me pinned in again 

in the neighborhood 

in the neighborhood 

in the neighborhood 

There's a couple filipino girls 

gigglin' by the church 

and the windoe is busted 

and the landlord ain't home 

and butch joined the army 

yea that's where he's been 

and the jackhammer's diggin' 

up the sidewalks again 

in the neighborhood 

in the neighborhood 

in the neighborhood
