IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD 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 Chorus 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 to much noise and we don't get our butter delivererd no more Chorus 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 the goddamn flatbed's got me pinned in again Chorus There's a couple Filipino girl's gigglin' by the church and the window 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 Chorus
