What will the neighbours think.

My dear old Mum has gone now

She reached just 94.

For all those years she worried.

About the folk next door.

That is what I used to think

When as a little lad.

It's what she used tosay to me

If I did something bad.

Whatever will the neighbours think,

If you don't wash your face.

Whatever will the neighbours think

If you don't clean-up the place.

Both my father and my sister

Did not always do as bid.

The neighbours never seemed to care

Whatever those two did.

I don't think the neighbours

Really cared one little hoot.

But just in case when I passed their house

I raised a finger in salute.

That one brought memories flooding back, not that it worked very well on me. When I was a young lad our nearest neighbour was 3 miles away and that was as the crow flies, go via the road (that was in reality only a dirt track) it was 5 miles.
