Alexander, our  older brother
set  out for a  great adventure
He  tore our images out  of his pictures
He  scratched our names out of  all his letters
Our  mother shoulda
Just  named you Laika
Come  on Alex, you  can do it
Come  on Alex, there's  nothin' to it
If  you want somethin' don't  ask for nothin
if  you want nothin' don't  ask for somethin'
Our  mother shoulda
Just  named you Laika!
It's for  your own good
It's for  the neighborhood!
 The neighborhood
Our  older brother bit  by a Vampire
For  a year we caught his tears  in a cup
And  now we're gonna make  him drink it
Come  on Alex don't die  or dry up
Our  mother shoulda
Just  named you Laika!
It's for  your own good
It's for  the neighborhood!
 the neighborhood!
When  daddy comes home
 you always  start  a fight
So  the neighbors can dance
 In the  police  disco lights
The  police disco  lights
Now  the neighbors can dance!
 Now the neighbors can dance!
 Now the neighbors can dance!
 Now the neighbors can dance!
 Look at 'em dance
