What a splendid sight, 
her teeth were white
The drinks were cheap (it was Ladies Nite)
He was glad that he met her

She was an office girl (her name was Betty)
Her fav'rite group was twisted sister
(They discussed the weather)

Verse

She was a lonely sort, just a little too short
Her jokes were dumb and her fav'rite sport
Was hockey (in the winter)
He was duly impressed and was quick to suggest
Any sport with a puck had to be 'bout the best
As he jabbed his elbow in her (get it honey?)
Later on they went off to where the music was soft.
The candles were drippy, they saw a real hippy
Who delivered their dinner

The rice was brown, and soon they found
That the crowd around that had jammed the room,
Well it seemed to be getting thinner

He took her home to a motor court
She wouldn't kiss him, he tried to ignore it,
But it made him angry!
He called her a slut, a pig and a whore
A bitch and a republican and she slammed the door
In a petulant frenzy!

       C5        D5
On the sofa she weeps
Boo hoo hoo hoo
    C5          D5
She weeps and she weeps
Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
    C5             D5
She weeps and she peeps
Through the curtain

     C5         D5
He just got in his car
But the battery's dead
     C5             D5
So he asks to use the phone
And she gives him some head
And that's the end of the story
