The People in Your Neighborhood by Sesame Street Lyrics
[BOB]
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)
Oh, hi there, little fella
[ANYTHING MUPPET #1, spoken]
Hello
[BOB, spoken]
Hey, listen, know who you could be if I gave you this little hat and this bag to go over your shoulder?
[ANYTHING MUPPET #1, spoken]
I could be a laundry man
[BOB, spoken]
No, not a laundry man
[ANYTHING MUPPET #1, spoken]
How about Santa Claus?
[BOB, spoken]
No no no, not Santa Claus
[ANYTHING MUPPET #1, spoken]
What's wrong with Santa Claus?
[BOB, spoken]
There's nothing wrong with Santa Claus, but...
[ANYTHING MUPPET #1, spoken]
Don't you like Christmas?
[BOB, spoken]
Oh, I love Christmas. But you could be the postman
[ANYTHING MUPPET #1, spoken]
A postman, hmmmm ...
(Sung)
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
[BOB]
'Cause a postman is a person in your neighborhood
[ANYTHING MUPPET #1]
In your neighborhood
He's in your neighborhood
[BOB & ANYTHING MUPPET #1]
A postman is a person in your neighborhood
A person that you meet each day
[ANYTHING MUPPET #1, spoken]
I'll see you around
[BOB, spoken]

Hey, watch it. Where ya goin'? To a fire?
[BOB, spoken]
Hey, speaking of a fire
[ANYTHING MUPPET #2, spoken]

[BOB, spoken]

[BOB, spoken]
No, no, no, not Red Riding Hood, you could be a fireman
[ANYTHING MUPPET #2, spoken]
A fireman? Holy smoke!
(Sung)
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
[BOB]
'Cause a fireman is a person in your neighborhood
[ANYTHING MUPPET #2]
In your neighborhood
[BOB]
He's in your neighborhood
[ANYTHING MUPPET #1]
And a postman is a person in your neighborhood
