lyrics

So she came up to the door, saying...
"Let me introduce myself!
My name is 'so-and-so' and don't you hesitate to ask for help.
If a thing of yours is broken, it's quite likely I can fix it,
I've got books on every subject and my first-aid kit is quite legit!
If you need a shoulder, if you need to move a boulder,
Won't you try me out?"

Because she's the girl next door.
And she, she's the girl next door.
So what? She's the girl next door.
That's why she's the girl next door all right.

Well he couldn't think of much to say so he said...
"Thank you, so-and-so.
I don't expect I'll need your help, 'cause today I'm feeling kind of slow,
but I think you're kind of something, so this offer's worth a try,
'cause you're just my kind of girl, if I'm just your kind of guy.
If you need a shoulder, don't you wait 'til we get older,
Won't you try me out?"

Because she's the girl next door.
And she, she's the girl next door.
So what? She's the girl next door.
That's why she's the girl next door all right.

So the story never ends and the girl and boy are doing well.
And if a thing of his is broken, doesn't hesitate to ask for help.
