Gather 'round everybody.
Gonna tell you a story about Betty and Dupree.
Betty told Dupree, "I want a diamond ring."
Betty told Dupree, "I want a diamond ring."
Dupree told Betty "I'll buy you anything."
Dupree asked Betty, "Oh, will you be my wife?
Durpee asked Betty, "Oh, will you be my wife?
If I buy you that ring, you're mine the rest of your life."
