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.

[Refrão]
Chorus
w/Part 3
Dead babies can't take care of themselves. Dead babies can't take

[Próxima Parte]
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.

[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
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.

[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
things off the shelf. Well, we didn't need you anyway.
w/Part 5
Goodbye, little Betty.

Good for beginners, with a few chords and fairly simple shapes.

  • Practice the two hardest chord changes first, then go back to the whole song.
  • Use the transpose button if the key feels uncomfortable for your voice or the chord shapes you know.
