Lyrics

w/Part B
1. 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
even hear her baby call.

Chorus
w/Part C
Dead babies can't take care of themselves. Dead babies can't take
things off the shelf.
w/Part D 
Well, we didn't want you anyway.

w/Part B
2. Daddy is an agrophile in Texas. Mommy's on the bar most every
night. Little Betty's sleeping in the graveyard, living there in
burgandy and white.

Chorus
w/Part C
Dead babies can't take care of themselves. Dead babies can't take
things off the shelf. Well, we didn't love you anyway.

w/Part E
Goodbye, little Betty. Goodbye, little Betty. So long, little
Betty. So long, little Betty. Betty, so long.

Chorus
w/Part C
Dead babies can't take care of themselves. Dead babies can't take
things off the shelf. Well, we didn't need you anyway.
