NOSY NEIGHBOR

(Music by Barry Knox, lyrics by David Gilbert; written and first recorded May, 2002)

I got a nosy neighbor she won’t leave me alone

She peeks out her window from her lonely home

I got a neighbor always staring at me

She thinks I’m gonna cut down her tree

I bet you got a neighbor, just like me

Why can’t they just let us be

Nosy neighbors, why don’t they leave us alone

Nosy neighbors, wreckin’ up my happy home

Every time I have a party she calls the police

Every time my dog barks there’s a press release

I see her outside, talkin’ to her man

She says, what’s that he put in his garbage can

Mind your own business, shut your doors

I don’t want to hear your whinin’ no more

Nosy neighbors, why don’t they leave us alone

Nosy neighbors, wreckin’ up my happy home

I know I let my lawn grow a little too long for your taste

And sometimes I turn my sprinkler up just a little too high

I’m sorry, did I get a little on your driveway?

Oh my God, what would you do without me!

Snoop down, snoop down neighbor

Snoop down, how does my garden grow?

Back seat driver mind your big nose

I might get you wet with my garden hose

You don’t like my music, well, I must confess

You never smile and I hate your dress
