While touring in Ireland, the discovered the audience would cheer back "Who the Fuck is Alice?". As it turns out , this was a ritual at a Café in Nijmegen (the Netherlands) called "Gompie". The group decided to "cover" this version with comedian Roy Chubby Brown having the honor of yelling "Alice, Who the Fuck is Alice?" during the chorus. Thus, Smokie holds the record as the first group to have a top ten song with the word "fuck" in it.

Living Next Door to Alice
Smokie Lyrics
Sally called, when she got the word
She said "I suppose you've heard about Alice"
Well, 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
Oh, 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 want to know
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice
Twenty four 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
Oh, 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 want to know
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice
Twenty four 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 twenty four 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 want to know
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice
Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance
To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance
Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice

Sally called when she the word
And she said, “I suppose you’ve heard...about Alice?”
When I rushed to the window 🪟 and I looked outside
And I could hardly believe my eyes 👀
As a big limousine rolled up 🔝 into Alice’s drive
Oh, 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 want to know
‘Cause for 24 years
I’ve been living next door 🚪 to Alice
24 years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel, and maybe 🤔 get a 2nd glance
Now I’ve got to get used to not living next door 🚪 to Alice
We grew up ⬆️ together, 2 kids in the park
We carved our initials, deep in the bark
Me & Alice
Now she walks through the door 🚪 with her head held high
Just for a moment, I caught her eye 👁
As a big limousine pulled slowly, out of Alice’s drive
Oh, 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 want to know
‘Cause for 24 years
I’ve been living next door 🚪 to Alice
24 years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel, and maybe 🤔 get a 2nd glance
Now I gotta get used to not living next door 🚪 to Alice
And Sally called back and asked how I felt
And she said, “I know how to help
Get over Alice”
She said, “Now Alice is gone, but I’m still here”
You know I’ve been waiting for 24 years
And a 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 want to know
‘Cause for 24 years
I’ve been living next door 🚪 to Alice
24 years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel, and maybe 🤔 get a 2nd glance
But I’ll never 👎🏿 get used to not living next door 🚪 to Alice
No, I’ll never 👎🏿 get used to not living next door 🚪 to Alice
