Two people live next door to each other
Two neighbours two tall young men
One is full of life and the other pale,
(In me, in me, in me).
Two people live next door to each other

Two neighbours two tall young men
One is like a girl and the other pale,
(In me, in me, in me).
Two people live next door to each other
