Our parody version of this classic from Sesame Street... a little reflection on recent happenings in Singapore... but come highs & lows, come strange incidents... we all love our neighbourhoods nonetheless. =P

Original Song: The People in Your Neighbourhood
Written by Jeff Moss, 1969

Lyrics:

Chorus:
Who are the people in your neighbourhood
In your neighbourhood, In your neighbourhood oh
Who are the people in your neighbourhood
They’re the people that you meet each day

In the morning i eat chee cheong fun
And i Always wanna be number 1
Mahjong is the game I like
When i’m not riding naked on my bike

We are the people in the neighbourhood
In the neighbourhood, In the neighbourhood oh
We are the people in the neighbourhood
We’re the people that you meet each day

I’m the number one kompang player
When i’m free i lepak one corner
When we celebrate hari raya
Eh the standee my wedding picture

We are the people in the neighbourhood
In the neighbourhood, In the neighbourhood oh
We are the people in the neighbourhood
We’re the people that you meet each day

When i pray i like to ring my bell
Cos praying keeps my family well
But my neighbour’s whacking her cymbal
She thought i’m preying on a Chinese girl

We are the people in the neighbourhood
In the neighbourhood, In the neighbourhood oh
We are the people in the neighbourhood
We’re the people that you meet each day

We love the people in the neighbourhood
In the neighbourhood, In the neighbourhood oh
We love the people in the neighbourhood
We’re the people that you meet, when you're walking down the street
We're the people that you meet each day
