No place like home
in the neighborhood
There is no place like home in
the neighborhood
Now there's a coffee shop
where every one stops
For a bite to eat and the waitress is sweet
And right next door,
there's a big dance hall
Where your friends all go to have a ball
On the avenue,
the lights are much brighter
But right here, people are tighter
In the neighborhood, yeah
Oh, in the neighborhood
There's a candy shop
where the little kids stop
On their way to school,
breaking mother's rules
A movie show where the lovers go
To the balcony for some
privacy
Downtown the girl got fine
But I found the one that's just not fine
Here in the neighborhood where the sky seems brighter and people are tighter in the neighborhood,
yeah, oh, in the neighborhood
Now there's a record shop where music never
stops where we hang around till the shop goes down
A barbershop where the barbecues tops
You can pick up the news and
get a shine on your shoes
From home you may roam
But there's one place
you know you belong
In the neighborhood, yeah
Oh, in the neighbor hood
There is no place like home
Where the people are tighter, yeah
No place like home in the
Where the sky seems
so much tighter, yeah
No place like home
The girls are so fine, yeah
