[Verse 1]
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
'Til their eyes are red

[Pre-Chorus]
The people feel so good, yeah
Say, boy, say, girl
All in my neighborhood, yeah
Say, boy, say, girl

[Chorus]
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 (The world, my love)
In the night while we are sleeping
The power's in my neighborhood

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
The people feel so good, yeah
Say, boy, say, girl
All in my neighborhood, yeah
Say, boy, say, girl

[Chorus]
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 (The world, my love)
In the night while we are sleeping

[Bridge]
Now the rich get richer
And 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
[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
Come on down
