[Verse]
        There aDin't no place to dance in town
        like the GVFW when the sun goes down
        All the gAood looking ladies come from miGles around to mDeetA  
        Fred saw DBetty Lou Baker for the fourteenth time
        he sGaid "I'm gonna tell her how I feel tonight"
        But he dAidn't know what hit him when he coGuldn't even move or spDeakA  
[Chorus]
        Well it starts with "DL" and it ends with "E"
        There's a couple short lGetters stuck in between
        And it ain't too lDong but it always seems to get him all choked Aup
        Yeah it starts with "DL" and it ends with "E"
        One tough sylGlable and he's home fBmree
        It's only fDour letters go, get her aiAn't nothin' better than love

        SGittin' by herself in the cane-back chair

[Verse]

There ain't no place to dance in town

like the VFW when the sun goes down

A G D A

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"

A G D A

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

D A

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"

G Bm

One tough syllable and he's home free

D A

It's only four letters go, get her ain't nothin' better than love

D D D D

[Verse]

Now Betty Lou's that girl with the long blonde hair

Sittin' by herself in the cane-back chair

A G D A

Anybody lookin' would think nobody cared but then

Fred is frettin' over yonder sittin' in the corner

worrying wondering if he's ever gonna

A G D A

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

D A

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"

G Bm

One tough syllable and he's home free

It's only four letters go, get her ain't nothin' better than love

[Verse]

Well Fred finally got around and found Betty Lou,

said "would ya wanna take a chance on a dance or two"

B A E B

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

B A E B

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

E B

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"

A C#m

One tough syllable and he's home free

E B E A

It's only four letters go, get her ain't nothin' better than love

E B

It's only four letters go, get her ain't nothin' better than love
