Little Betty ate a pound of aspirin
She got them from the shelf upon the wall
Betty's mommy wasn't there to save her
She didn't hear her little baby callDead babies
Can't take care of themselves
Dead babies
Can't take things off the shelf
Well we didn't want you anywayDaddy is an agrophile in Texas
Mommy's on the bar most every night
Little Betty's sleeping in the graveyard
Living there in burgundy and whiteDead babies
Can't take care of themselves
Dead babies
Can't take things off the shelf
Well we didn't love you anywayGoodbye, little Betty
Goodbye, little Betty
So long, little Betty
So long, little Betty
Betty, so longDead babies
Can't take care of themselves
Dead babies
Can't take things off the shelf
Well we didn't need you anyway
(Didn't want you)
(To love you, anyway)Goodbye, little Betty
