I Sally called when she got the word, and she said, ‘I suppose you´ve heard, ´bout Alice’. Well, I rush to the window and I looked outside, but I could hardly believe my eyes as a big limousine rode up into Alice´s drive.
REFRAIN: Oh, I don´t know why she´s leaving, or where she´s gonna go, I guess she´s got her reasons, but I just don´t wanna know, ´cos for 24 years I´ve been living next door to Alice. Alice! Who the X is Alice? 24 years just waiting for a chance to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance, now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice. Alice! Who the X is Alice?
II We grew up together, two kids in the park, carved out initials deep in the bark, ‘me an´ Alice’. Now she walks through the door, with her head held high. Just for a moment, I caught her eye as the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice´s drive.
REFRAIN: Oh, I don´t know why she´s leaving, or where she´s gonna go, I guess she´s got her reasons, but I just don´t wanna know, ´cos for 24 years I´ve been living next door to Alice. Alice! Who the X is Alice? 24 years just waiting for a chance to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance, now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice. Alice! Who the X is Alice?
III Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt, and she said, ‘I know how to help, to get over Alice’. She said, ‘Now Alice is gone, but I´m still here, you know, I´ve been waiting for 24 years…’ And the big limousine disappeared…
REFRAIN: Oh, I don´t know why she´s leaving, or where she´s gonna go, I guess she´s got her reasons, but I just don´t wanna know, ´Cos for 24 years I´ve been living next door to Alice. Alice! Who the X is Alice? 24 years just waiting for a chance to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance, but I´ll never get used to not living next door to Alice. Alice! Who the X is Alice?
No, I´ll never get used to not living next door to Alice…
