GIRL NEXT DOOR WENT A-WALKIN'
(Bill Rice / Thomas Wayne)


Thomas Wayne - 1959
Elvis Presley - 1960



The girl next door went a-walkin'
She found a boy she liked
She wanted to get married
Settle down for life
The girl next door went a-walkin'
She knew it wasn't right
She came home half-past-ten
La-ate every night

Oh well, the girl next door went a-walkin'
She found a boy she liked
She wanted to get married
Settle down for life
She didn't know love was so grand
She never took love second hand
But to my surprise 
She thought that love was paradise

The girl next door went a-walkin'
She found a boy she liked
She wanted to get married
Settle down for life
The girl next door went a-walkin'
She knew it wasn't right
She came home half-past-ten
La-ate every night

Oh well, the girl next door went a-walkin'
She found a boy she liked
She wanted to get married
Settle down for life
She didn't know love was so grand
She never took love second hand
But to my surprise 
She thought that love was paradise

The girl next door went a-walkin'
She found a boy she liked
She wanted to get married
Settle down for life
And now the two are married
Settled down for life
She walks by him hand-in-hand
La-ate every night

Oh well, the girl next door went a-walkin'
She found a boy she liked
She wanted to get married
Settle down for life
Settle down for life
Settle down for life..........FADE
