Intro:
Now I love mankind it’s my nay-burrs I can’t stand
I know you forgive your trespassers so you might not understand
That our neighborhood abides by the fools golden rule
That is: Do on to others before they do on you!
Chorus:
I'd get along with my neighbors if they didn't live next door
If they didn't aks me favors I'd love them all the more
I'd get along with my nayburrs if they had any sense
They'd stay in their own yard on their side of my fence
Verse 1:
My nayburr yelled, I don't ‘preshiate you starin' at my wife!
I said, Sorry, I can't help it, her bikini's so small and tight.
Now wait a minute ol' friend, I don't mean to offend."
But could you tell me how many doughnuts it took to assemble her big rear end?
ChoChorus:
I'd get along with my neighbors if they didn't live next door
If they didn't aks me favors I'd love them all the more
I'd get along with my nayburrs if they had any sense
They'd stay in their own yard on their side of my fence
Verse 2:
Hey neighbor, “Your dog better stop barking at night
Or he’s gonna have a short life!
And then I’ll call the dog pound!"
He said, “Well you’d better hide your wife!”
Then he peed on my peonies, tried to stomp down on my rhubarb.
So I fed their cat some prunes and I locked it in their new car.
Chorus:
I'd get along with my neighbors if they didn't live next door
If they didn't aks me favors I'd love them all the more
I'd get along with my nayburrs if they had any sense
They'd stay in their own yard on their side of my fence
Interlude (sad part of the story):
Well my neighbor friends they had enough and moved away.
A for-sale sign’s on their house.
You know I kinda miss them folks.
I been feelin’ like a louse.
When they called to say they’re sorry.
I got teardrops in my eyes.
“I didn’t mean to drive y’all away.”
Then they hit me with a complete surprise…
What?! The loan fell thru?!
You’re movin’ back in?
Chorus:
I'd get along with my neighbors if they didn't live next door
If they didn't aks me favors I'd love them all the more
I'd get along with my nayburrs if they had any sense
They'd stay in their own yard on their side of my fence!
