Mr.  Jones, my next door neighbour  I feel  I've known you all my life
I  haven't seen you for a while  now How's  the family? How's that beautiful  wife?
 I hope your dreams  were not forgotten  And you've become  downtrodden
Get  your health  together Get  your wealth  together
Get  yourself  together Jones,  you were my next  door neighbour
 Mr. Brown, you're so ambitious You ran off with an Essex blond
 You've broke the bank to keep two women You're over extended, now it's all gone wrong
 Now you're right back where you started
 Still, you shouldn't be broken hearted
 Get your mind together We can still climb together
 A step at a time together Brown, your world was turned upside down
I know  it's not the same  And everything changes
 But behind front doors people  think that they can hide
 We win  and lose, we laugh  and cry Live  and learn, at least  we try
 Oh, give it a try  Ba ba ba,  together Ba  ba ba,  together
And  we can go miles  together All  of my next  door neighbours
 Get your style together Put a smile together
 And we'll go miles together All of my next door neighbours
 Mr. Smith, another story I wonder what became of him?
 They say he threw the telly through the window
 He went bizerk and jacked the whole world in
 They say he may have hit rock bottom
 Still, he went out with a bang and so he is not forgotten
 We had our tiffs together Our rows and our rifts together
 But let's learn to forgive together
Smith,  you were my next door neighbour Jones,  you were my next door neighbour
Brown, you  were my next  door neighbour
