Well, I just got a letter from a friend
That bettered himself by traveling around
Well, he struck it rich by diggin' a ditch
In the hills outside of town
The pretty girl he mentioned called Cindy Lou
Well, I want one like her too

If I can't find a girl like Cindy Lou
I'm gonna have a little talk with you, friend
I'm gonna have a little talk with you

Cindy Lou, Cindy Lou
Well, I want one like her too
If I can't find a girl like Cindy Lou
I'm gonna have a little talk with you, friend
I'm gonna have a little talk with you

You said her hair was black as coal
And hung nearly to the ground
And her eyes they sparkle just like the gold
That was lyin' all around
You said there's a lotta pretty girls you knew
And you'd help me find one too

If I can't find a girl like Cindy Lou
I'm gonna have a little talk with you, friend
I'm gonna have a little talk with you
Cindy Lou, Cindy Lou
Well, I want one like her too
If I can't find a girl like Cindy Lou
I'm gonna have a little talk with you, friend
I'm gonna have a little talk with you

I'm gonna hop on my pony
Ride where they don't know me
And leave behind me all my bills
I got a can full of beans
And a whole lotta greens
Way up there in them hills
I'll have it made just layin' in the shade
Way up there in the blue

And if all of my dreams don't come true
I'm gonna have a little talk with you, friend
I'm gonna have a little talk with you

Cindy Lou, Cindy Lou
Well, I want one like her too
If I can't find a girl like Cindy Lou
I'm gonna have a little talk with you, friend
I'm gonna have a little talk with you
