Lyrics
Love Thy Neighbor
Verse 1
Bobbi Sue slipped through the fence to help her neighbor Bubba
No one saw her going there, she was under cover
He had trouble with some words in the family Bible
His wife was at the nail place, no thoughts about a rival
Verse 2
Bubba had to watch his tongue to avoid the urge to curse
They studied hard, moved along, sounding out each verse
It got so warm in the house that hot summer day
Their clothes came off to beat the heat, restraint just went away
Chorus
The Book* says, “love thy neighbor,” just don’t get caught
Everybody does it, at least that’s what they thought
You might get lucky, just don’t get shot
So, love thy neighbor, just don’t get caught
Verse 3
Thought that an “adultery” was a place to be adult
They thought they’d better check it out to see how it felt
Vicky, Tommy, Peggy Sue, Lauralee, and Pat
They’d all tried it, thought that’s where it’s at
Chorus
The Book* says, “love thy neighbor,” just don’t get caught
Everybody does it, at least that’s what they thought
You might get lucky, just don’t get shot
So love thy neighbor, just don’t get caught
Chorus
The Book* says, “love thy neighbor,” just don’t get caught
Everybody does it, at least that’s what they thought
So play with your neighbor, do what you want
You might get lucky, just don’t get shot
So love thy neighbor, just don’t get caught
*(Matthew 22:39) (Leviticus 19:18)
“Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself “
