New Kind Of Neighborhood

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 you go up there, there’s a hill, right there
Yeah, yeah»
«Well, you go up the path, there’s two paths»
«Oh really?»
«Y-yeah, and it’s the second one, you’ll find it»
«Okay»
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
Oh-oh-oh, new kind of neighborhood
Well, now your friends were dancing on the lawn

«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 flag»
«Okay, I’ll find it now»
Well, now your friends were dancing on the lawn
