Sally called when she got the word,
She said, I suppose you've heard about Alice
Well, I rushed to the window, and I looked outside
I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up into Alice's drive
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,
or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
but I just don't want to know
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice
Twenty-four years just waiting for the chance
To tell her how I feel
and maybe get a second glance
Now I've got to get used
to not living next door to Alice
