Pretty Little Next Door Neighbor,

Girl I've had my eye on you.

Do you have another man you favor

Or do you live all alone too?

I've been watching every morning

Just about half past eight

When you climb into your green Volkswagen

And disappear for half the day.

I'm new in town with a great big house all to myself.

Every time I see you walking around it's by yourself you've got no one else.

One stuffy room is all you get for the rent you pay

And I hope it doesn't frighten you away when I say:

Pretty Little Next Door Neighbor,

Two can live as cheap as one.

Girl you know it really isn't half the trouble

And it oughta be twice as much fun.
