Betty and Me Songtext
von Jonathan Coulton

Betty and Me Songtext

I guess I was skeptical when I first met Dr. Martin
He said, "We could build a baby out of DNA"
And although it was expensive, it was legal in the states where it wasn′t banned
It was Betty who suggested we cut out the parts of me that she can't stand

So, we made an appointment and Betty went alone
They worked out the details and then called me on the phone
To say, "Congratulations, Dad"

Now things are getting better for Betty and me
We′re making us a baby that's just like me only better
And Betty says he'll be taller, and Betty says he′ll be smarter
And Betty says that our baby will be better than me

Betty was pretty firm about our baby being human
I said, "We should give him wings and a nice prehensile tail
He could travel with the circus making money, making friends with clowns"
Betty said, "That′s stupid and, for God's sake, would you turn that TV down?"

Now I′ve seen Betty happy, but she's never been like this
She glows like someone′s girlfriend in the middle of a kiss
And I'm excited too


′Cause things are getting better for Betty and me
We're making us a baby that's just like me only better
And Betty says he′ll be taller, and Betty says he′ll be smarter
And Betty says that our baby will be better than me

And the love inside me thunders like a storm
And I hope the tube they keep him in is comfortable and warm
I hope the nutritive solution that they're feeding him doesn′t make him fat

Betty's been spending lots of time out late with Dr. Martin
She says that they′re working on the baby every night
And Dr. Martin sends her presents like new underwear and a bottle of wine
I'll just keep on writing checks until the day that baby is mine

He might have my mustache or my freckles or my eyes
Betty thinks it′s better if we keep it a surprise
I hope I find out soon

'Cause things are getting better for Betty and me
We're making us a baby that′s just like me only better
And Betty says he′ll be taller, and Betty says he'll be smarter
And Betty says that our baby will be better than
Baby will be better than
Baby will be better than me
