Nancy Lamott Lyrics
"The Lady Down The Hall"

THE LADY DOWN THE HALL words and music by Annie Dinerman

THE LADY DOWN THE HALL DOESN'T LIKE TO HEAR US FIGHT.
IT'S NOT BECAUSE SHE WANTS HER PEACE AND QUIET.
SHE ONLY WANTS TO KNOW THAT EVERYTHING'S ALL RIGHT,
AND SHE'S KEEPING AN EYE ON OUR LOVE.

THE LADY DOWN THE HALL DOESN'T REALLY MEAN TO PRY.
IT'S JUST BECAUSE WE'RE YOUNG AND SHE REMEMBERS
THE WAY A DOOR CAN SLAM AND HOW IT FEELS TO CRY.
AND SHE'S KEEPING AN EYE ON OUR LOVE.

SHE WEARS PINK, FUZZY SLIPPERS AND A YANKEES HAT
AND WE ALWAYS CHAT WHEN I GO TO CHECK THE MAIL.
AND WE'D BOTH BE UNHAPPY IF I HAD TO CONFESS
THAT YOUR MAIL WAS BEING SENT TO A FORWARDING ADDRESS,

BECAUSE THE LADY DOWN THE HALL DOESN'T CARE WHO'S RIGHT OR WRONG.
IT'S NOT BECAUSE SHE'S ON MY SIDE OR YOUR SIDE.
SHE ONLY WANTS TO KNOW YOU'LL STAY WHERE YOU BELONG,
AND SHE'S KEEPING AN EYE ON OUR LOVE.

SO LET'S COME THROUGH FOR ME AND YOU.
AND LET'S COME THROUGH FOR MRS. BRADY.
LET'S MAKE IT WORK FOR US
AND THE LADY DOWN THE HALL.
