It was a startlin' thing for a twelve year old. I could not believe my eyes. When I saw my next door neighbour Jean buck-nekkid for the very first time. She had no business paradin' like that; bare-butt for the world to see. I was so shocked, my legs unlocked and I near fell out of that tree. (Chorus) My next door neighbour Jean just turned fifteen and started wearing a brassiere. She must need Claritin for her allergens 'cause she keeps kleenex in there. (v2) The preacher talks sinnin' each Sunday. Hell sounds like a real bad place. But I see TV every week night and the sinners wear a happy face. I ain't big on fire and brimstone, I'm more heavenly inclined. But I might keep peeking at that sweet Jean.... at least 'til I go blind. (Chorus) My next door neighbour Jean just turned fifteen and started wearing a brassiere. She must need Claritin for her allergens 'cause she keeps kleenex in there. (v3) Mama says she's right proud of me after almost losing hope. Told her I was studyin' astronomy, and needed a telescope. I got me a hammer and some nails; ain't doing nothing wrong. Gonna build me a treehouse so I can "study" all night long. (Bridge) I could use a bigger allowance but a kid does the best he can. It's sure tough climbing up a tree luggin' daddy's video-cam. (Chorus) My next door neighbour Jean just turned fifteen and started wearing a brassiere. She must need Claritin for her allergens 'cause she keeps kleenex in there. IF YOU HAVE TO JUDGE SOMEONE DO IT ON THE SIDE OF MERCY AND LET TIME SEASON THE RESULTS. |

Seems like Jean makes sinnin' awful sweet Eric but I don't think you ought to risk going blind. How about just risking one eye? I love this song. |

Not all Jeans are well worn although old, they still hold their worth and stuff is still well worn inside And a pleasure Jean is my wife Dave When I saw the sun kiss you on a summer's morn And moonlight kissed your hair on the day you were born When I saw the look in your eyes A kind of crimsom mess The swirl of the world beneath your feet Flowing your dress to match your hair And the love of your eyes Was sad and deep and warm I saw the tilt of your nose Light the smile of your lips The love of yourself A sense of belonging in your time and space A deep laughter in your throat Echoing the world's embrace I see you in the world I cannot see the world without You in it's heart And a smile like a roustabout But sometimes I see an upturned nose And a furrowed brow And I wait for the sky to clear And move the thunder loud To sink to an early red dawn Of another summer's morn |
