Alexander, our older brother
Bm          F#m 
set out for a great adventure
Bm                 F#m 
He tore our images out of his pictures
Bm                         F#m 
He scratched our names out of all his letters

[Chorus]
G          D   Bm 
Our mother shoulda
G              D  Bm 
Just named you Laika

[Verse]
Bm            F#m
Come on Alex, you can do it
Bm            F#m
Come on Alex, there's nothin' to it
Bm                    F#m
If you want somethin' don't ask for nothin
Bm                  F#m
if you want nothin' don't ask for somethin'

[Chorus]
G          D   Bm

[Verse]
Bm                F#m 
Our older brother bit by a Vampire
Bm                       F#m 
For a year we caught his tears in a cup
Bm                  F#m 
And now we're gonna make him drink it
Bm                 F#m 
Come on Alex don't die or dry up

[Chorus]
G          D   Bm 
Our mother shoulda
G              D  Bm 
Just named you Laika!

It's for your own       good
Em   A       A#      F#m     Bm  Em   
It's for the neighborhood! 

A#              F#m    Bm  Em

[Bridge]
Em               A
When daddy comes home
          D   D/C# Bm 
you always start a fight
Em                   A
So the neighbors can dance
   Bm     F#m  Bm   F#m 
In the police disco lights
Bm    F#m  Bm     F#m 
The police disco lights

[Outro]
Bm                    F#m 
Now the neighbors can dance!
Bm                    F#m 
Now the neighbors can dance!
Bm                    F#m 
Now the neighbors can dance!
