Never treat others with scorn
We're only here 'cause we're born
Although you're way up, you may not stay up
Stop tootin' your horn

While most of the wealth you possess
High on the hill of success
On friendship you never should frown
You'll meet the same friends on the weary way down

Oh, love thy neighbour, walk up and say, "How be ya?"
"Gee! but I'm glad to see ya pal, how's tricks, what's new?"

Love thy neighbour, offer to share his burden
Tell him to say the word "n" you will see him through

Especially if there should be a beautiful girl next door
Say to that girl next door, don't think I'm bold,
But my mother told me to......

Love thy neighbour, and you will find your labour
A great deal easier, life will be breezier
If you love thy neighbour
