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
