Love Thy Neighbor

Bing Crosby · Golden Greats [2008]

Never treat others with scorn

We're only here 'cause we're born

Although you're way up, you may not stay up

Stop tootin' your horn



While most of the wealth you possess

High on the hill of success

On friendship you never should frown

You'll meet the same friends on the weary way down



Oh, love thy neighbour, walk up and say, "How be ya?"

"Gee! but I'm glad to see ya pal, how's tricks, what's new?"



Love thy neighbour, offer to share his burden

Tell him to say the word "n" you will see him through



Especially if there should be a beautiful girl next door

Say to that girl next door, now don't think I'm bold,

But my mother told me to,

"Love thy neighbour, and you will find your labour

A great deal easier, life will be breezier

If you love thy neighbour"



'Specially should there be a beautiful girl next door

Say to that girl next door, now don't think I'm bold,

But my mother told me to,

"Love thy neighbour, and you will find your labour

A great deal easier, life will be breezier

If you love thy neighbour"
