Dead Babies

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 call



Dead babies

Can't take care of themselves

Dead babies

Can't take things off the shelf

Well we didn't want you anyway



Daddy 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 white



Dead babies

Can't take care of themselves

Dead babies

Can't take things off the shelf

Well we didn't love you anyway



Goodbye, little Betty

Goodbye, little Betty

So long, little Betty

So long, little Betty

Betty, so long



Dead 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
