"Living Next Door to Alice" by Smokie
Sally called, when she got the word,
She said "I suppose you've heard
about Alice."
So, I rushed to the window, and I looked outside,
and I could hardly believe my eyes,
this big limousine pulled slowly into Alice's drive.
I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
'cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice.
24 years, just waitin' for a chance,
to tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice.
Grew up together, two kids in the park,
carved our initials deep in the bark
- me and Alice.
Now she walks to the door, with her head held high,
just for a moment, I caught her eye,
as the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive.
I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
'cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice.
24 years, just waitin' for a chance,
to tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice.
Sally called back, and asked how I felt,
she said "I know how to help ...
you get over Alice."
She said "Now Alice is gone, but I'm still here
- you know I've been waiting 24 years."
And the big limousine disappeared.
I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
'cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice.
24 years, just waitin' for a chance,
to tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice.
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice ...

Forgotten 45: "Living Next Door to Alice"
Smokie, with songs written and produced by British bubblegum masters Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn, scored six Top 10 hits in Britain between 1975 and 1977. Three of those made the American charts, but only "Alice" hit the Top 40. It wasn't an across-the-board hit in America, but it stayed on the Hot 100 from December 1976 through April 1977, so it was big in some places around the country but not in others.
Like a lot of other semi-popular groups of their era, Smokie has had a long afterlife. The group broke up in the late 70s (lead singer Chris Norman would make the American Top 10 in 1979, paired with Suzi Quatro on "Stumblin' In") reformed in the late 80s, and continues to play today. "Alice" even made it back to the British Top 10 in 1995, in a new version with a singer named Chubby Brown, retitled "Who the F**k is Alice?"
There's no explaining British pop taste, really.
"Living Next Door to Alice" is a Forgotten 45 in the sense that you don't hear it on the radio anymore, but it's definitely not forgettable if you do actually hear it. I can't think of another record that stays in my head like this one does. It was on the car tape I was listening to a couple of hours ago, and I expect to be humming the chorus for days:
I don't know why she's leavin' or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
Cuz for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice

Living Next Door To Alice by Smokie.
It was 24 years...not 25.
And the original version didn't have any swearing. That was a charity version produced quite recently.
The original version is available on the Smokie Greatest Hits CD which you can usually get for next to nothing at record shops. And there are a few versions of the song at YouTube too.

The song is by the old 70's band Smokey with Roy 'Chubbie' Brown doing the "Who the **** is Alice!" bit. It was a re-recording of Smokey's biggest hit. Novelty central!
