lyrics

I'm really looking forward to you coming to stay
And I hope that your bedroom will be OK
As you dream sweet dreams, on your pillow, you lay-
I'll be right here in the room next door.
I want you to please make yourself at home
You can borrow a shampoo, a towell or a comb
And if you need anything there's no need to phone,
I'll be right here in the room next door.

The carpets and mats and neighbourhood cats
And bottles and tins and on Wednesday the bins
The honest intent and the bond and the rent
The letters to me and here is your key...

I've been cleaning the house and preparing your room
And if you could do the dishes, then I'll grab the broom
And if there's ever a problem you can safely assume
I'll be right here in the room next door.
You've got some nice things, help yourself to all mine
We should celebrate your coming with a bottle of wine
It was looking like rain, I brought your things in off the line
And they're right here in the room next door.

The oven and grills and splitting the bills
The sharing a laugh in the queue for the bath
The dodgy remote and enrolling to vote
And washing a load, your security code...

Since you've arrived I've felt as light as a feather
You can stay for a while, or stay for forever
And if you think you might like to do something together
I'll be right here in the room next door.
It's a nice neighbourhood with the shops and the park
And forgive me if I'm shooting wide of the mark,
But if you should find that you're afraid of the dark
I'll be right here in the room next door.
