Funky beats, Barrow Street Walking with your dog I see you, you see me Then we stop and talk Later on, some cafe Thinking what you said Children laugh, telling jokes Till their eyes are red The people feel so good, yeah Say, boy, say, girl All in my neighborhood, yeah Say, boy, say, girl We got peace, love, and monkey business Gonna reach the very top There'll be pride, hope, and Sunday mornings All the things I'm thinking of We could change the world, my love In the night while we are sleeping The power's in my neighborhood Liquor store, stop and shop Old folks sit outside Restaurants and laundromats And she's still on my mind April, May, June, July August comes around Pretty soon, a year's gone by And we're still hanging out The people feel so good, yeah Say, boy, say, girl All in my neighborhood, yeah Say, boy, say, girl
We got peace, love, and monkey business Gonna reach the very top There'll be pride, hope, and Sunday mornings All the things I'm thinking of We could change the world, my love In the night while we are sleeping Now the rich get richer And the poor stay poor And folks get restless If it don't change soon But there's a sweet sensation Turnin' bad to good And things get better In my neighborhood, neighborhood Neighborhood So burn on You little candle Put your light into my head There's a lone wolf He's on the mountain He's the friend you never had We got peace, love, and monkey business Gonna reach the very top There'll be pride, hope, and Sunday mornings All the things I'm thinking of So come on down Come on, come on Come on down Come on, come on Come on down Come on, come on Come on down
