The little girl that live next door I didn't know her name Bubble gum and braces Were her only claims to fame She wore a floppy mop of hair I never saw her face All I saw were giant bubbles A shiny dental brace Bubble gum and braces Won't you please go home to play? I didn't like the girl next door But that was yesterday Now I'll believe in fairly tales Until the day I die In magic wands and witches' spells And let me tell you why The girl next door's a lovely sight A thing of beauty overnight So all at once so can't it be That I was blind and could not see Now if you know a girl next door Don't give her extra sorrow Cause she may weave that magic spell And break your heart tomorrow Bubble gum and braces Won't you please go home to play? I didn't like the girl next door But that was yesterday Bubble gum and braces Won't you please go home to play? I didn't like the girl next door But that was yesterday.
