  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.
  
  w/Part E
