Have you heard the news

It's all over town

If you ain't heard it boys

You better sit down



I got the story here

It's hot off the press

Brace yourself now

And take a deep breath

Grob a hold of something

Hold on tight

Betty Lou's gettin' out tonight



First heard the rumor down on 12th and Main



The poor druggist he was going insane

His stuff is selling out like never before

He finally had to up and close the store



All the boys were getting ready to fight

Betty Lou's gettin' out tonight

Betty Lou's gettin' out tonight

Betty Lou's gettin' out tonight

She was bad

Her momma got mad

But now her momma said it's all right

All the boys are getting ready and right

Betty Lou's gettin'out tonight



Betty Lou

Betty Lou

It's all true

It's really true

What do you think about that boys
