Neighbours 1934

I see that someone just moved in,
the little house
that's right next door,
and is she nice!
I've seen her twice,
and you bet I'll see her more.
I tell you I can hardly wait,
until I see her come my way.
Out in the street we're bound to meet,
and I'll tip my hat and say:

Neighbours, oh pardon me
but don't you know we're neighbours,
I simply had to say "Hello"
Your smile gives me a hunch
before the evening ends,
if we make a date
it's gonna be great,
we'll be the best of friends
as well as neighbours.
I thank my lucky stars
because we're neighbours,
that's why,
it may seem premature
but, all the same, I'm sure,
Tho' we're only neighbours, you and I,
we'll be sweethearts bye and bye.

Neighbours, oh pardon me
but don't you know we're neighbours,
I simply had to say "Hello"
Your smile gives me a hunch
before the evening ends,
if we make a date
it's gonna be great,
we'll be the best of friends
as well as neighbours.
I thank my lucky stars
because we're neighbours,
that's why,
it may seem premature
but, all the same, I'm sure,
Tho' we're only neighbours, you and I,
we'll be sweethearts bye and bye.

However nice her house may be
if anything she's asked to sign
she don't approve and wants to move
she can walk straight into mine.
It's all complete with love inside,
and quite contented I shall be
to win her smile and in a while
hear her say one day to me:

Neighbours, oh pardon me
but don't you know we're neighbours,
I simply had to say "Hello"
Your smile gives me a hunch
before the evening ends,
if we make a date
it's gonna be great,
we'll be the best of friends
as well as neighbours.
I thank my lucky stars
because we're neighbours,
that's why,
it may seem premature
but, all the same, I'm sure,
Tho' we're only neighbours, you and I,
we'll be sweethearts bye and bye.

as well as neighbours.

but, all the same, I'm sure,
Tho' we're only neighbours, you and I,
we'll be sweethearts bye and bye.
