Sally called when she got the word
And she said, "I suppose you've heard 'bout Karen”
So I rushed to the window and I looked outside
And I could hardly believe my eyes
As a police car rode up into Karen’s drive; Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go
I guess they’ve got their reasons, but I just don't wanna know
'Cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Karen
24 years just waitin' for a chance
To tell her how I feel without losing stance
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Karen
