lyrics

I've got a neigbor, a really cool neighbor
We ripped out the fence and planted some tomatoes
Orange habaneros and green jalapenos
Red bell peppers zucchinis and carrots

I build houses and he builds pools
We borrow eachother's power tools
I bring all of our kids to school
And he brings all of em back

His wife coaches soccer for our little girls' team
My wife made the banner, "The Green Machine."
They dribble and they pass and they shoot and they scream
And they run in for half time snacks

I've got a neighbor (I've got a neighbor)
A really cool neighbor (really cool neighbor)
I've got a neighbor, and he's got a neighbor in me (he's got a neighbor in me)
I've got a neighbor (tengo un vecino)
A really cool neighbor (un vecino muy chido)
I've got a neighbor, and we're like family

We're deckin the halls with boughs of holly
We bring them cookies, they bring us tamales
Put some peppers from the garden in some fresh guacomole
And sing feliz navidad
They're teachin my daughter espanol
You should hear those little r's roll
she says, "Quiero ir a Mexico."
And I'm the proudest Dad

I've got a neighbor (I've got a neighbor)
A really cool neighbor (really cool neighbor)
I've got a neighbor, and he's got a neighbor in me (he's got a neighbor in me)
I've got a neighbor (tengo un vecino)
A really cool neighbor (un vecino muy chido)
I've got a neighbor, and we're like family

They'd been here for fifteen years
then one weekend they disappeared
I got a fuzzy phone call from Tijuana
He said, "They're calling me an alien.
They said I'm not American.
I'm callin just to tell you where I've gone to."
I don't know who's job he took
but I can tell you what they took
they took my friend, a man who gave his all
I know Jose's gonna be okay,
and we're gonna visit him some day,
Even if we have to climb that god damn wall

I've got a neighbor
A really cool neighbor
I've got a neighbor,
and they've got a neighbor in me
I've got a neighbor (tengo un vecino)
A really cool neighbor (un vecino muy chido)
I've got a neighbor, and we're like family

I've got a neigbor, a really cool neighbor
We ripped out the fence and planted some tomatoes
Orange habaneros and green jalapenos
Red bell peppers zucchinis and carrots
