Lyrics

The girl next door went a-walking
She found a boy she liked (Do-wah-oo)
She wanted to get married
Settle down for life (Do-wah-oo)
The girl next door went a-walking
She knew it wasn't right
She came home at half past 10
Late every night
The girl next door went a-walking
She found a boy she liked (Do-wah-oo)
She wanted to get married
Settle down for life (Do-wah-oo)
She didn't know love was so grand (Ahh-wah)
She never took love second hand (Ahh-wah)
But to my surprise (Ahh-wah)
She thought that love was paradise (Ahh-ahh)
The girl next door went a-walking
She found the boy she liked (Do-wah-oo)
She wanted to get married
Settle down for life (Do-wah-oo)
The girl next door went a-walking
She knew it wasn't right
She home at half past 10
Late every night
The girl next door went a-walking
She found a boy she liked (Do-wah-oo)
She wanted to get married
Settle down for life (Do-wah-oo)
She didn't know love was so grand (Ahh-wah)
She never took love second hand (Ahh-wah)
But to my surprise (Ahh-wah)
She thought that love was paradise (Ahh-ahh)
The girl next door went a-walking
She found the boy she likes (Do-wah-oo)
She wanted to get married
Settle down for life (Do-wah-oo)
Now the two are married
Settled down for life
She walks by him hand in hand
Late every night
The girl next door went a-walking
She found a boy she liked (Do-wah-oo)
She wanted to get married
Settle down for life (Do-wah-oo)
Settle down for life
Settle down for life (Do-wah-oo)
Settle down for life
