Well there was Anna from Austin
And Betty from Boston
And Caroline from down in Tennessee.
I was out to get
Through the alphabet
Until I hit that terrible Z.

Well L was a breeze
With Lottie and Louise.
And M with Mavis and Marie.
I had little trouble;
With most, I could double
Until I hit that terrible Z

Then I met Xona
From way out it Pamona
I said, "this is fate, I complete."
But I thought what chagrin
When she told me in the end
It started with an X and not Z.

Now I'm looking for Zelda
Cause I've never held a
Girl whose name begins with a Z.
And I'm gonna hate myself
If I die and don't date my self
A girl whose name begins with a Z.
