{Verse 1}
Betty bought a bit of butter, but the butter Betty bought was bitter,
So Betty bought a better butter, and it was better than the butter Betty bought before.
{Verse 2}
Betty's bitter butter battle, brought a bit of better batter,
But the batter made with Betty's butter, got the bakers all aflutter.
So she sought a sweeter spread, to put upon her breakfast bread,
Betty's better butter betters, every bit of bitter bread.
{Chorus}
Better butter, bitter butter, Betty bought before,
But the better butter Betty bought was better, oh for sure!
Baking bread with Betty's butter, better than the bitter bore,
Betty's butter buying bout will be the stuff of lore.
{Verse 3}
Bakers banter, Betty's braver, buying butter, flavor savor,
Butter's better, bakers blubber, Betty's bread's above the others.
With a bit of Betty's butter, bread is never a blunder,
Betty's butter's beating bitter, bringing bliss like thunder.
{Bridge}
Bitter butter's banished, better butter's branded,
Betty's butter's best, and by her hand it's handed.
Bakers, buyers, by and by, they all demand it,
Betty's better butter's bought, and bakers can't withstand it.
{Chorus}
Better butter, bitter butter, Betty bought before,
But the better butter Betty bought was better, oh for sure!
Baking bread with Betty's butter, better than the bitter bore,
Betty's butter buying bout will be the stuff of lore.

{Outro}
Betty's better butter's beating, bitter butter's fleeting,
Now every baker's meeting, is sweetly, neatly eating.
Betty's butter's on the board, the bitter's nevermore,
And Betty's better butter's what we all adore
.
