A Side: Neighbours Theme (Episode 2001)
B Side: Neighbours Theme

This single was released long before Episode 2001, which could indicate a misprint ­ possibly for Episode 1001 instead. Also, the cast sing different lyrics written by Mark Little (Joe Mangel) and Cathy Farr.

Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours
But here¹s a friendly word of warning
Just be careful what you say
Neighbours, for us poor blighters here in Ramsay Street
Drama is only a footpath away
Neighbours, you pick your friends but not your neighbours
Just a slight misunderstanding
And the mayhem never ends
Neighbours, interfering with each other
Be sure that that¹s where the friendship ends

Neighbours, life is better when your neighbours
Say ŒCheerio, we¹re finally going
On that long planned holiday¹
Neighbours sit and listen to your problems
Because they¹re too nice to say Œgo away¹
Neighbours, neighbours, neighbours in the UK
The smallest suburb in Australia
Erinsborough¹s here to stay
Neighbours, sipping tea up at Daf¹s gossip shop
That¹s where good neighbours become good friends

The B Side is also a merge between the two different versions, where the cast begin with Trent¹s lyrics, then sing Little and Farr¹s after the instrumental break.
