About

The Vandals make a word play off the Not In My Backyard movement, which is actually pejorative of those who don’t want new developments like homeless shelters, pubs, landfills, etc to be placed near their homes.

In the case of this song, they write about a resistance to allowing former Hall & O...

N.I.M.B.Y. Lyrics

[Intro]
G.E.
Must go

[Verse 1]
The city council met last night, the vote was one to six
Denying access to our town by TV's G.E. Smith
The Mayor cited nightmares had by his daughter Eileen
She dreamed that ugly fucker's face popped out the friggin' screen

[Chorus]
They said "No," they said, "No way
Not in my backyard, he can not stay
That eyesore is a stain upon the nation
If you think he's livin' by me, there's no way" (Hey, hey, hey)

[Post-Chorus]
G.E.
Must go

[Verse 2]
G.E. felt the set back, but refused to surrender
He bought a house disguised as the guitarist of the Pretenders
But at the party we like to throw for new homeowners
We caught him when he couldn't play the lead from "Tattooed Love Boys"

[Chorus]
They said "No," they said, "No way
Not in my backyard, he can not stay
That eyesore is a stain upon the nation
If you think he's livin' by me, there's no way" (Hey, hey, hey)

[Post-Chorus]
G.E.
Must go

[Refrain]
G.E.
Must go

[Verse 3]
A man has got the right to homestead anywhere he can
But that just begs the question, what exactly is a man?
Blond Frankenstein with Dutchboy hair would hardly qualify
So we must live free of this Hall & Oats reject or die

[Chorus]
I said "No," I said, "No way
Not in my backyard, he can not stay
This eyesore is a stain upon the nation
If you think he's livin' by me, there's no way" (Hey, hey, hey)

[Post-Chorus]
G.E.
Must go
