YOUR NPA

Neighbor, there's no need to feel down
I said, Neighbor, get ideas off the ground
I said, Neighbor, if you're in a new town
Come and get connected.

Neighbor, there's a place you can go
I said, Neighbor, if you just have to know
You can come here, and I'm sure you will find
Lots of ideas and have a good time.

Come have your say at the N.P.A.
Come have your say at the N.P.A.
They have ideas to make life so good
And it’s great to hang with the ‘hood.

Come have your say at the N.P.A.
Come have your say at the N.P.A.
You can get new ideas, you can find a good deal
You can say whatever you feel.

Neighbor, are you listening to me
I said, Neighbor, how do you want it to be
I said Neighbor, you can make real your dreams
But you've got to know this one thing!

No one does it all by herself
I said, Neighbor, put your blues on the shelf
And just go there, to the N.P.A.
I'm sure they can help you today.
