If anybody knows her, I bet they never chose her   But it don't mean a thing   And pardon me for asking is it only in passing   Or did you give her a ring      I'd do anything to hear you say   Ethyl, my love, Ethyl, my love      I never thought I'd see it, I want you to admit   You're a sick boy and a fool   You're doing what you want and I know you really want   To be her Fred-boy, ain't it cool      I'd do anything to hear you say   Ethyl, my love, Ethyl, my love      I could never do it   Baby, I don't understand   And if you ever want to leave, babe   I don't think you ever can      Ethyl, my love, Ethyl, my love   Ethyl, my love, Ethyl, my love   Ethyl, my love, Ethyl, my love   Ethyl, my l-l-love, Ethyl, my love
