(vs 1.)

Now what happened inside was a scared event
There was much more than shampooin' and rinse

(chorus)

It was a...Permin’, teasin’, fillin’, smilin’
Coffee drinkin’, bee-hive makin' good time
At Ethyl's Purty Palace

(vs 2.)

Janell caught a snooze under the hum of the dryer
Wanda chatted with Fern about a new teacher they hired
Ruby bragged to Margret about her grandson's genius
and lamented the lifestyle of her sister Francis
Lotty scanned the latest issue of Vanity Fair
While Tammy swept an old broom around the chair
and Doris told the same 'ol tale 'bout the time Bev's nephew escaped from jail

(chorus)

It was a...Permin’, teasin’, fillin’, smilin’
Coffee drinkin’, bee-hive makin' good time
At Ethyl's Purty Palace
