Verse 1 There ain't no place to dance in town
like the VFW when the sun goes down
All the good looking ladies come from miles around to meet
Fred saw Betty Lou Baker for the fourteenth time
he said "I'm gonna tell her how I feel tonight"
But he didn't know what hit him when he couldn't even move or speak
Chorus Well it starts with "L" and it ends with "E"
There's a couple short letters stuck in between
And it ain't too long but it always seems to get him all choked up
Yeah it starts with "L" and it ends with "E"
One tough syllable and he's home free
It's only four letters go, get her ain't nothin' better than love
Verse 2 Now Betty Lou's that girl with the long blonde hair
Sittin' by herself in the cane-back chair
Anybody lookin' would think nobody cared but then
Fred is frettin' over yonder sittin' in the corner
worrying wondering if he's ever gonna
Get the nerve, to use that word again
Chorus Well it starts with "L" and it ends with "E"
There's a couple short letters stuck in between
And it ain't too long but it always seems to get him all choked up
Yeah it starts with "L" and it ends with "E"
One tough syllable and he's home free
It's only four letters go, get her ain't nothin' better than love
Verse 3 Well Fred finally got around and found Betty Lou,
said "would ya wanna take a chance on a dance or two"
He didn't have a clue, what Betty Lou would do in his mind
And then Betty Lou stood up and shook her head
for the longest moment that room went dead
Until she said "Fred, Honey it's about time"
Chorus Well it starts with "L" and it ends with "E"
There's a couple short letters stuck in between
And it ain't too long but it always seems to get him all choked up
Yeah it starts with "L" and it ends with "E"
One tough syllable and he's home free
It's only four letters go, get her ain't nothin' better than love
It's only four letters go, get her ain't nothin' better than love
