Lyrics
VERSE
From 24, 26 was just next door
They were units of an apartment-home luxury palace
Bob and Carol, Ted and Alice
Passed the time livin' there just fine
VERSE
But 24 Bob had his eye on 26 Alice
And 24 Carol had her eye on 26 Ted
So it was with an absence of malice
They ended up in each other's beds
CHORUS
(Now) (Yeah) only the names have changed
Everything else sure seems the same
It was a simple spousal exchange
A next-door-neighbor lover's kind of game
And only the names have changed
RIDE
VERSE
Before long, 28 became occupied
Now I really mean it, all kidding aside
Soon Jack and Jill were climbing the hill
And all six were destined to collide
Repeat CHORUS
BRIDGE
The moral of this story is...
Well, you decide
Repeat CHORUS
TAG
Yes, only the names have changed
