VERSE 3: (SAME AS VERSE 1) Neighbor called my landlord It was a sunday afternoon She couldn't hear the tv set We were having a barbeque We were listening to Louis Prima And drinking Meisterbrau If she would have come and talked it over And she wasn't a lazy cow So she got bent and raised the rent Said it would only take one more Phone call from my whiny neighbor
VERSE 4: (SAME AS VERSE 2) Maybe someday when I'm jaded 9 to 5 at a job I hate I'll come home and razz my neighbors too But I'd have a clever strategy And catch them when the rent is late And all the other bills are overdue After all this is the neighborly way
CHORUS
BRIDGE: E |-9---------- B |---9-------- Don't even hide the dog
Or put the bong away C#5G#5B5 We don't want to live here anyway
VERSE 5: (SAME AS VERSE 1) Neighbor called my landlord She said we didn't care The lawn is dead Dogs and cats are stinking everywhere She said we had crazy parties every night The yard is littered with bottles and cans Skateboards and bikes She didn't get bent Didn't raise the rent We only got a note In 30 days we'll get the old heave ho
