[Verse 1]
Well, hello Mrs. Jones
Good neighbor, Sam
How are you doin'?
While you're working nine to five
Do you know what your kids are doing?

[Refrain]
Youngest, Debbie is skippin' class
Grades so poor, she'll barely pass
Oldest, Roger, he's so dear
A pessimist, the end is near

[Verse 2]
The family ties are breakin' down
There's not much to do to save them
Tell yourselves you'll spend more time
With the kids, they'll say forget it

[Refrain]
Youngest, Debbie is skippin' class
Grades so poor, she'll barely pass
Oldest, Roger, he's so dear
A pessimist, the end is near

[Chorus]
Mrs. Jones, good neighbor, Sam
Mrs. Jones, good neighbor, Sam

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Mrs. Jones, good neighbor, Sam
Mrs. Jones, good neighbor, Sam
Mrs. Jones

[Verse 3]
Everything you've worked so hard
You only want the best
You tell yourselves and your friends you're better than the rest
And don't you know I feel tons, tons of sorrow
Hey, by the way, you got a rake that I can borrow?
[Refrain]
Youngest, Debbie is skippin' class
Grades so poor, she'll barely pass
Oldest, Roger, he's so dear
A pessimist, the end is near

[Chorus]
Mrs. Jones, good neighbor, Sam
Mrs. Jones, good neighbor, Sam
Mrs. Jones, good neighbor, Sam
Mrs. Jones, good neighbor, Sam
