The Girl Nextdoor

{shoo-wop background vocals} {chiming clean electric guitar arpeggios} {vintage spring reverb}

(shoo-wop, shoo-wop, oh-yeah) I look out my window every afternoon

Watching her water the roses in bloom

She wears her hair in a ribbon so blue

Oh Veronica,

if you only knew

Veronica, the girl next door

You're the one that I've been wishing for (shoo-wop,

shoo-wop) Just one sweet look from across the lawn And all my

lonely nights are gone

{lush string section swell}

She walks down the driveway and waves with a smile

And my foolish heart misses beats for a mile I pretend that

I'm fixing my old Chevrolet

Just to hear what her

sweet voice might say

One of these days I'll gather the nerve To cross the green

grass that we both share

I'll ask her to dance,

I'll show her I care (ooh-wah-ooh-wah) Veronica,

the girl next door

You're the one that I've been wishing for (shoo-wop,

shoo-wop)

Just one sweet look from across the lawn And all my lonely

nights are gone

{glorious brass section countermelody}

Oh, Veronica

My girl next door (shoo-wop,

shoo-wop, oh-yeah) Forevermore

{slow fade-out

on clean guitar chords}
