      A (x02220@1)        EThere (022100@1)once was a boy

A (x02220@1)                E (022100@1) ARound (x02220@1)the gated community

And my ball dropped in

CHORUS


Verse 2:
AOh! (x02220@1)The Gated Community

And when you come to visit

You can stand outside and see

     EOf (022100@1)unsightly stray debris

Free, free of debris!

And when you come to visit

You can stand outside and see

What a smiling bunch we are
