People in Your Neighborhood

Oh, who are the people in your neighborhood?
In your neighborhood?
In your neighborhood?
Say, who are the people in your neighborhood?
The people that you meet each day

Oh, the postman always brings the mail
Through rain or snow or sleet or hail
I'll work and work the whole day through
To get your letters safe to you

'Cause a postman is a person in your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
He's in your neighborhood
A postman is a person in your neighborhood
A person that you meet each day

Oh, a firefighter is brave it's said
His engine is a shiny red
If there's a fire anywhere about
Well, he'll be sure to put it out

'Cause a fireman is a person in your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
He's in your neighborhood
And a fireman is a person in your neighborhood
HeÕs a person that you meet each day

The baker is the one who makes
Your bread and rolls and pies and cakes
If you want something sweet to eat,
Go see the baker in the bakery

A teacher works the whole day through
To teach important things to you
He'll teach you things you won't forget
Like numbers and the alphabet

A barber has a great big chair
You sit in it, she cuts your hair
She'll snip and clip and never rest
Until your haircut looks its best

The bus driver drives fast or slow
To take you where you want to go
When you get in and pay your fare
She will drive you anywhere

A dentist cares for all your teeth
The top ones and the ones beneath
So if you have an aching tooth
He'll fix it quick, and that's the truth

The grocer sells the things you eat
Like bread and eggs, cheese and meat
No matter what you're looking for
You'll find it at the grocery store

The shoemaker is always there
To take care of the shoes you wear
With his hammer, nails, and glue
He'll fix your shoes as good as new

The doctor makes you well real quick
If by chance you're feeling sick
She works and works the whole day long
To help you feel well and strong

The cleaner is the one who knows
How to clean and press your clothes
She'll take a jacket, suit, or vest
And clean it so you'll look your best

The trash collector works each day
He'll always take your trash away
He drives the biggest truck you've seen
To keep the city streets all clean

'Cause a trashman is a person in your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
He's in your neighborhood
And a trashman is a person in your neighborhood
Well, they're the people that you meet
When you're walking down the street
They're the people that you meet each day
