Lyrics
You know my next door neighbor
About to make me lose my mind
You know my next door neighbor
About to make me lose my mind
They can't knock on my door
Unless they want to borrow something all the time
They want to borrow the broom, they want to borrow the mop
They want to know the time so they borrow the clock
They want to borrow some lard and a piece of meat
They want to borrow some sugar to make the coffee sweet
They want to borrow two dollars until payday
They want to borrow the liniment to rub the pains away
You know my next door neighbor
About to make me lose my mind
They can't knock on my door
Unless they want to borrow something all the time
They want to watch the fights and try to pick a winner
They borrowed my television, come back and get my antenna
They borrowed the lawn mower, they borrowed the electric fan
They borrowed the vacuum cleaner and the garbage can
They borrowed knives, forks, spoons and plates
They borrowed the calendar off the wall to keep up with the dates
You know my next door neighbor
About to make me lose my mind
They can't knock on my door
Unless they want to borrow something all the time
They worry me
They knocked on my door and said "Howdy do, friend"
"We want to borrow a suit to bury grandpa in"
I stood up there and I shook my head
"Believe your people would borrow from the dead"
Borrowing's alright, but it's a natural fact
People like to borrow but they won't pay back
You know my next door neighbor
About to make me lose my mind
They can't knock on my door
Unless they want to borrow something all the time
Get out, stay gone
