Lyrics

w/Part 2
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 3
Dead babies can't take care of 
themselves. Dead babies can't take
things off the shelf.
w/Part 4
Well, we didn't want you anyway.

w/Part 2
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 3
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 5
Goodbye, little Betty. Goodbye, 
little Betty. So long, little
Betty. So long, little Betty. Betty,
 so long.

Chorus
w/Part 3
Dead babies can't take care of 
themselves. Dead babies can't take
things off the shelf. Well, we 
didn't need you anyway.

w/Part 5
Goodbye, little Betty.
