The problem is they have been
known to be explosive,
They cause commotion any hour
of the day,
Mr. Mayor, won't you call
our nearest congressperson,
'Cause I don't think we ought
to let 'em stay...
[Chorus]
Don't want a missile to be
my next door neighbor,
Don't know of anyone who would,
They're messy, they stay up
all night, they're noisy and
If they come, there goes the
neighborhood...
Our new neighbors, they are
government supported,
Everything they need they
get for free,
I might remind you all that
we're the ones a-payin' for
Mr. MX and his Mrs.' miseries...
They used to say our little
city was a melting pot,
A shining model of democracy.
well,
If the new neighbors have
an argument. we're all involved,
And a melting pot's exactly
what we'll be...
[Repeat Chorus]
Now I am not unsympathetic
to the homeless,
So if we've got to have them
here at all,
Mr. Driver, take your moving
van to Main Street,
And park those suckers right
by city hall...
[Repeat Chorus]
