It Start With 'l'

Ain't no place to dance in town

Like the view 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

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

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 if he's ever gonna

Get the nerve to use that word again

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

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"

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 nothing better than love
