Lyrics

My neighbor on the second floor
Plays the music I adore
I listen at his door
He lives in 2 5 1.

Now on the floor below
There lives a guy named Joe
His horn is very mellow
He lives in 1 4 5.

I polished up my saxophone
Called my neighbor on the telephone
And Joe came up from 1 4 5
And we began to jive!

Then a Cuban gal in 5 0 9
Thought we sounded very fine
She brought her bongos down to 2 5 1
And we started to have some fun!

From the top floor to the ground
Musicians come from all around
To 2 5 1 at 6 o?clock
And the building begins to rock!

The moral of this story is
If you want to play like Diz
And if you want to have some fun
Go knock on 2 5 1!
