Hey neighbor – I hear you’re goin’ away!
Take a long vacation with the kids and the wife.
Well, there ain’t no doubt to deserve to go.
I never saw nobody work so much in my life.

I’ll keep an eye on the place for you, my friends!
It’ll be just fine ‘til your vacation ends.
What can I do for you while you’re gone?
Watch for burg’lers, and mow your lawn?

No, it’s no problem, I’m glad to help
It’s no big deal! Hey, what are friends for?
And just in case we see something odd
Should I have the key to your front door?

We’ll keep a good watch both night and day.
If a light comes on or we hear a sound
We’ll check it out - no need to fret
And we’ll call the cops if some gang comes ‘round.

Hey neighbor!
No need to worry, ‘cause all of your stuff will be in good hands
Hey neighbor!
Just have a good time, kick back and relax on those tropical sands
Hey neighbor!
I’ll keep an eye on your place while you’re off with the family and havin’ fun,
Hey neighbor!
If the house catches fire (or somethin’ worse) I’ll call 9-1-1 !
I’ve got the number somewhere.

I’ll watch the house, I’ll feed the fish
I’ll keep food and water in the doggie’s dish
I’ll get the paper off the front porch, too
I’ll live at your place and they’ll think it’s you!

I’ll fire up the grill and I’ll cook some steaks
And call the handyman if something breaks
I’ll use the pool so it looks like you’re here
And I’ll eat your food and I’ll drink your beer

No need to worry - you go off and have fun.
I’ll watch the place ‘till your trip is done
I’ll have some friends over, just a modest crowd,
And all will be safe… and not too loud

And we’ll clean things up so you’ll never know
All the fun we’ll have once we see you go.
This’ll be a blast (was that my outside voice?)
You put me in charge - that’s the right choice!

You go on now - don’t worry about a thing.
It’s all in good hands, neighbor. All in good hands…
I didn’t mean that about drinkin’ your beer…
But I’ll rake the leaves… and clean up. Really…
