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
Grab 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

Her momma got mad
But now her momma said it's all right
All the boys are getting ready and right

Hold on tight
