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...
