[Intro – Whistling, Handclaps] (Whistle whistle, doo-doo-doo!) Welcome to the neighbourhood! We're so glad you're here! [Verse 1 – Bright Female Lead] We moved in on a Sunday, The sun was shining bright. A dozen smiling neighbours Came to welcome us that night! With casseroles and cookies, And flowers tied in bows, They knew our children's birthdays, And the colour of our clothes! [Pre-Chorus – Cheerful Ensemble] Oh, what a lovely street! Every garden trimmed and neat! Everybody knows your name, Everybody looks the same! [Chorus – Full Sunshine Pop Harmonies] We wave hello, we wave goodbye, We never ask the neighbours why! La-la-la, the sun is high, Not a single cloud up in the sky! We smile all day, we sleep all night, Every little thing is right! Oh, what a lovely place to be, Here on Sunnybrook Lane with me! [Instrumental – Whistling, Jangly Guitar] [Verse 2 – Male Lead] We asked about the family Who lived here once before. The neighbours looked quite puzzled As they gathered at our door. "No family lived here, darling! Why, whatever do you mean?" Then Mrs. Green brought pudding And the lawn was freshly green! [Pre-Chorus – Ensemble] Oh, what a lovely street! Every garden trimmed and neat! Someone's always passing by, Someone's always watching why! [Chorus – Full Ensemble] We wave hello, we wave goodbye, We never ask the neighbours why! La-la-la, the sun is high, Not a single cloud up in the sky! We smile all day, we sleep all night, Every little thing is right! Oh, what a lovely place to be, Here on Sunnybrook Lane with me! [Bridge – Sweet, Gentle Harmonies] The children found a photograph Beneath the kitchen floor. A smiling little family Was standing by our door. [Spoken – Friendly Neighbour] Oh, those aren't yours, dear! Let me take that away. [Instrumental – Whistling, Handclaps] [Final Chorus – Exuberant] We wave hello, we wave goodbye, We never ask the neighbours why! La-la-la, the sun is high, Not a single cloud up in the sky! We smile all day, we sleep all night, Every little thing is right! Oh, what a lovely place to be, Here on Sunnybrook Lane with me! [Outro – Soft Whistling] (La-la-la, doo-doo-doo!) Every house is occupied, Every family satisfied! [Spoken – Warm Female Voice] Oh, you're moving away? [Cheerful Ensemble] Nobody moves away! [Whistling Fade]
