Sesame Street The People In Your Neighborhood Lyrics

[Chorus: Bob McGrath]
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

[Spoken 1: Bob & Anything Muppet #1]
Oh, hi there, little fella
Hello
Hey, listen, know who you could be if I gave you this little hat and this bag to go over your shoulder?
I could be a laundry man
No, not a laundry man
How about Santa Claus?
No, no, no, not Santa Claus
What's wrong with Santa Claus?
There's nothing wrong with Santa Claus, but...
Don't you like Christmas?
Oh, I love Christmas. But you could be the postman
A postman, hmm

[Verse 1: Anything Muppet #1]
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

[Chorus 1: Bob McGrath, Anything Muppet #1 & Both]
'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

[Spoken 2: Bob McGrath, Anything Muppet #1 & Anything Muppet #2]
I'll see you around
Okay
Hey, watch it. Where ya goin'? To a fire?
Hey, speaking of a fire
Fire! What fire? Help! Help!
No, there's no fire at all. But do you know who you could be if I gave you this little shiny red hat?
Yeah, Santa Claus
No, not Santa Claus
Little Red Riding Hood?
No, no, no, not Red Riding Hood, you could be a fireman
A fireman? Holy smoke!

[Verse 2: Anything Muppet #2]
Oh, a fireman is brave it's said
His engine is a shiny red
If there's a fire anywhere about
Well, I'll be sure to put it out

[Chorus 2: Bob McGrath, Anything Muppet #1, Anything Muppet #2, Both & All]
'Cause a fireman is a person in your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
He's in your neighborhood
And a postman 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
