Crepe Paper Apartments

Safe within these four walls

My new apartment is swell

But, what's that noise next door?

Is that my neighbors doorbell?

I'm attracting nosey eyes

When company comes over

We have to speak in whispers 

Or wake up their dog "Grover"

Neighborhood ears await

Even when I take a "Whiz!"

Crepe Paper Apartments 

Everyone knows your "Biz!"

Love the title! Hard to live in an apartment. My son lived above another family so kids had to be quiet at a certain hour. Now they have their own home.

Yeah, I had to move, because I couldn't enjoy date night, without everyone else enjoying my enjoyment!
