When do we get Barb's song "Bad Neighbors"?

While we're waiting I thought I'd paste in this old one in my collection:

No housing songbook would be complete without a tenant/tenant hassle song. Who hasn't had the grim experience of sharing a common wall, floor, or ceiling with obnoxious neighbors? The typical response to such disruption of one's "quiet enjoyment of the premises" begins with polite remonstrations, followed by notes tacked on the door, midnight phone calls, pounding on the walls, and the stereo barrage. This old song recalled by Jimmie Gavin of Brooklyn, New York, captures the spirit of such moments. Jimmie had a long history as an organizer, for many years working with the National Maritime Union and after retirement working to organize tenants. As Jimmie recalls:

"This song was written by a pal of mine, Bill Rogers, back in 1935 while he was serving time in Sing Sing. Bill was a strong arm man for the Union. Many the time we'd be having a drink on the West Side and he'd sing this song."

THE FAMILY OVERHEAD
(Words by Bill Rogers. Circa 1935 As sung by Jimmie Gavin in 1982 Tune: traditional Son of a Gambolier)

Upstairs there lives a family,
Gilhooley is their name,
And I haven't had a wink of sleep
Since in the house they came.

Chorus:

With their howling and their bowling,
They'd wake the fxxxing dead;
They're a bunch of filthy bastards,
Are the family overhead!

The old man he comes raving home,
He pounds the bastard walls;
The old lady plays "Mavornian"
Till she'd burst your fxxxing balls. (CHO)

Oh, there's Norey and there's Corey
And the cursed Christ on Kate;
There's Ninnie and there's Denny
And they're never home till late. (CHO)

The other night I lay asleep,
I had a pleasant dream;
I dreamt that I was floating
In a lake so cool and clean.
You can swim right all around me now,
Dive from me fxxxing bed,
For they've broke the bleeding waterpipe,
Them bastards overhead! (CHO)

Peace,
