Alice - Dr Hook & The Medicine Show



Sally called when she got the word
She said, "I suppose you heard
about Alice."
So I rushed to the window and I looked outside
And I could hardly believe my eyes
As the big limousine pulled slowly
into Alice's drive

Oh, I don't why she's leaving or where she's gonna go.
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice

(Alice? Who the **** is Alice?)

Twenty-four 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 **** is Alice?)

We grew up together, two kids in the park
We carved our initials deep in the bark.
Me and Alice.
As she walks to 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

Oh, I don't why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice.

(Alice? Who the **** is Alice?)

Twenty-four 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 **** is Alice?)

Sally called back, asked how I felt
She said, "I know how to help
get over Alice."
She said, "Now Alice is gone but I'm still here
And I've been waiting twenty-four years."
And the big limousine disappeared.

I don't why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice.

(Alice? Who the **** is Alice?)

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice.

(Alice? Who the **** is Alice?)

No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice.
