Lyrics

The devil came to the 9th ward pounding stakes in our front lawns seems the ghetto's got some value after all property going up he's turning sidewalks green and making houses gleam like the chrome on a cadillac clippity-clop on desire property going up property going up and the prices are going up property going up and the prices are gone this place isn't mine anymore that place isn't mine this house isn't mine anymore that house isn't mine neighboorhood isn't mine anymore bring in the oil, the pastels we need some smiling faces around here from ear to ear property going up ernest jobert change face here change name here hi-brow in lo-brow out to where, to where, to where the devil came to the ninth ward pounding stakes in our front lawns seems the ghetto's got some value after all
