Lyrics:

(originally by Jerry 'Boogie' McCain)

You know my next door neighbor, about to make me lose my mind
You know my next door neighbor, about to make me lose my mind
They come knock on my door, want to borrow something all the time

They want to borrow the broom, they want to borrow the mop
They want to know the time so they borrow the clock
They want to borrow some lard and a piece of meat
They want to borrow some sugar to make the coffee sweet
They want to borrow two dollars until pay day
They want to borrow linament to take the pain away

You know my next door neighbor, about to make me lose my mind
They come knock on my door, want to borrow something all the time

They want to watch the fight and try to pick a winner
They borrow my tv, come back and get my dinner
They borrow and ironing board, an electric fan
They borrow a vacuum cleaner and a garbage can
They borrow knife, fork, spoon and plate
They borrow the calendar off the wall to keep them up to date

You know my next door neighbor, about to make me lose my mind
They come knock on my door, want to borrow something all the time

They knock on my door and say Howdy do friend
They want to borrow a suit to bury granpa in
I stood up there and I shook my head
I believe you people would borrow from the dead
Borrowing's all right but it's a matter of fact
People like to borrow but they won't pay back

You know my next door neighbor, about to make me lose my mind
They come knock on my door, want to borrow something all the time

You know my next door neighbor, about to make me lose my mind
They come knock on my door, want to borrow something all the time
They come knock on my door, want to borrow something all the time
They come knock on my door, want to borrow something all the time
