I moved into a new house
On the other side of town
There was no welcome wagon
Not a single soul around
But then about five o'clock
People started coming home
Yes the scenery greatly improved
When I knew I wasn't alone (cause)
(Cause) (yes)
I'm living next door to Heaven
There's an angels on every side
There's three more across the street
Surely I must have died
And moved into a paradise
Where I'm the only man
Yes I'm living next door to heaven
Close to the promise land
There's a blond and a brunette
And a redhead or two
Trying so hard to please me
There's nothing they wouldn't do
One is cooking my supper
Another is baking bread
You'd think I'd died and gone to Heaven
But I know that I'm not dead (yes)
One is washing my clothes
Another's making my bed
One is ironing my shirt
While one strokes my head
One brings me my slippers
And the paper to read
This surely must be paradise
Close to Heaven indeed
