Gee! I'm glad that I live on the street I do
It's a great location with a perfect view
And I paid no attention to the place before
But right now let me mention, someone moved next door

So, I got together
And she got together
We're always together
Me and the girl next door

And I kissed her, I did
And she kissed me, she did
And who loved it, we did
Me and the girl next door

She calls me her lifesaver
Her lipstick's my favourite flavour

And I go to her house
And she comes to my house
And we're planning our house
Me and the girl next door

(Instrumental Break)

I like the bright lights
She likes the good lights
So, we use the moonlight
Me and the girl next door

And I'll say well, that way
And what way is that way
Why, that way is this way
For me and the girl next door

I find her oh, so thrilling
She don't stall, she's always willing

F'rinstance if I say,  now, "Will ya?"
Then she'll whisper, "Uh-Huh"
So, that makes it perfect 
For me and the girl next door

(Instrumental Break)

Now, I priced the Packard
And she priced the Lincoln
So, we bought the Flivver
Me and the girl next door

And I had an address
And she had two dollars
So, we bought the licence
Me and the girl next door

We'll never live with her folks
'Cause her folks still live with their folks

And I'm fond of children
And she's fond of children
So we'll buy an Airedale, woof-woof!
Me and the girl next door
