(Appears on Modern Lovers 88 and Action Packed)




Modern Lovers 88 version - Chordpro (capo 1)

[E] Well your friends they came from out of town
It was a [A] new kind of [B] neighborhood
And the [E] neighbors stared but they didn’t frown
[A] New kind of [B] neighbor[C#m]hood, [G#m] [A] new kind of [B] neighbor[E]hood

[E] Well your friends were dancin on the lawn
It was a [A] new kind of [B] neighborhood
And [E] no one stared like something’s wrong
[A] New kind of [B] neighbor[C#m]hood, [G#m] [A] new kind of [B] neighbor[E]hood

[E] Well wang a ding dang a diggy ….
[A] New kind of [B] neighborhood
[E] Wang a ding dang ….
[A] New kind of [B] neighbor[C#m]hood, [G#m] [A] new kind of [B] neighbor[E]hood

[Start of the spoken part]

Excuse me sir, could you tell me where this new neighborhood is that I’ve heard about?

Yeah, it’s right up there on the hill, right there

Yeah Yeah

Well you go up the path, there’s two paths

Oh really

And it’s the second one, you’ll find it

[end of spoken part]

[E] Well your friends they came from out of town
It was a [A] new kind of [B] neighborhood
And the [E] neighbors stared but they didn’t frown
[A] New kind of [B] neighbor[C#m]hood, [G#m] [A] new kind of [B] neighbor[E]hood

[E] Well your friends were dancin on the lawn
It was a [A] new kind of [B] neighborhood
And [E] no one acts like something’s wrong
[A] New kind of [B] neighbor[C#m]hood, [G#m] [A] new kind of [B] neighbor[E]hood

[E] Well wang a ding dang a diggy ….
[A] New kind of [B] neighborhood
[E] Wang a ding dang ….
[A] New kind of [B] neighbor[C#m]hood, [G#m] [A] new kind of [B] neighbor[E]hood

[start of spoken part]

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 car flags

Ok, I’ll find it now.

[end of spoken part].

[E] Well your friends were dancin on the lawn
It was a [A] new kind of [B] neighborhood
And [E] no one looks like something’s wrong
[A] New kind of [B] neighbor[C#m]hood, [G#m] [A] new kind of [B] neighbor[E]hood


Modern Lovers 88 version - Lyrics

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 dancin on the lawn
It was a new kind of neighborhood
And no one stared like something’s wrong
New kind of neighborhood, new kind of neighborhood

Well wang a ding dang a diggy ….
New kind of neighborhood
Wang a ding dang ….
New kind of neighborhood, new kind of neighborhood

[Start of the spoken part]

Excuse me sir, could you tell me where this new neighborhood is that I’ve heard about?

Yeah, it’s right up there on the hill, right there

Yeah Yeah

Well you go up the path, there’s two paths

Oh really

And it’s the second one, you’ll find it

[end of spoken part]

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 dancin on the lawn
It was a new kind of neighborhood
And no one acts like something’s wrong
New kind of neighborhood, new kind of neighborhood

Well wang a ding dang a diggy ….
New kind of neighborhood
Wang a ding dang ….
New kind of neighborhood, new kind of neighborhood

[start of spoken part]

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.

Ok, I’ll find it now.

[end of spoken part].

Well your friends were dancin on the lawn
It was a new kind of neighborhood
And no one looks like something’s wrong
New kind of neighborhood, new kind of neighborhood
