I have got a feeling
That you and I are gonna get along just fine
I met you on Thursday
While you were wearing jammies, sittin on your front porch
You said your name was Boo Lou
And I mighta took it as a terrible sign
And thought you were an odd duck
But instead I said, “Well you can call me Boo Lou, too”
See ‘cause I got a game that takes two people to play
And you and I are the same age and I live just down the street
See ‘cause I got a game that takes two people to play
And you’re my neighbor two doors down, why don’t you come around
Welcome to my front door
We can take our shoes off and we’ll go in our socks
You want something to eat?
Well here’s a rubber chicken and an oatmeal bar (don’t really eat the chicken)
Beware of my big brother
He might try to sneak up on us like he is a fox
But otherwise he’s not so bad (as long as you never have to
Ride with him in a car)
See ‘cause I got a game that takes two people to play
And you and I are the same age and I live just down the street
See ‘cause I got a game that takes two people to play
And you’re my neighbor two doors down, why don’t you come around
We could play Detective in the attic
We could plenty 20 in the yard
We could play The Tripping Game in the hall
We could play Sick Turtle Hospital
We could play Lava on the staircase
And play a million other new games – it doesn’t matter
But the best games are the ones that we make up
See ‘cause I got a game that takes two people to play
And you and I are the same age and I live just down the street
See ‘cause I got a game that takes two people to play
And you’re my neighbor two doors down
You’re my neighbor two doors down
You’re my neighbor two doors down
Why don’t you come around
