In The Neighborhood Lyrics by Jimmy Ruffin

The Ultimate Motown Collection

2004

[Intro]
No place like home in the neighbourhood
There is no place like home in the neighbourhood
[Verse 1]
Now there's a coffee shop where everyone stops
For a bite to eat, and the waitress is sweet (In the neighbourhood)
And right next door, there's a big dance hall
Where your friends all go to have a ball
[Pre-Chorus]
On the avenue, the lights are brighter
But right here, peoplе are tighter
[Chorus]
In the nеighbourhood, yeah (In the neighbourhood)
Oh, in the neighbourhood (The neighbourhood)
[Verse 2]
There's a candy shop where the little kids stop
On their way to school, breaking mothers' rules
A movie show where lovers go
To the balcony for some privacy
[Pre-Chorus]
Downtown, the girls are fine
But I've found the one that's got fine
Here in the neighbourhood
Where the sky seems brighter and people are tighter
[Chorus]
In the neighbourhood, yeah (In the neighbourhood)
On, in the neighbourhood (The neighbourhood)
[Verse 3]
Now there's a record shop where music never stop
Where we hang around 'til the shop goes down (In the neighbourhood)
A barbershop where the barber is tops
You can pick up the news and get a shine on your shoes
[Pre-Chorus]
From home, you may roam
But there's one place you know you belong (Yes, you do)
[Chorus]
In the neighbourhood, yeah (In the neighbourhood)
Oh, in the neighbourhood (The neighbourhood)
[Outro]
There is no place like home (In the neighbourhood)
Where the people are tighter, yeah
No place like home in the neighbourhood
Where the skies seem so much brighter, yeah
No place like home (In the neighbourhood)
The girls are so fine, yeah
(There is no place like home) In the neighbourhood
