Lyrics
(Traditional chant)
Betty Botter
bought some butter.
“But,” she said,
”the butter’s bitter.
If I put it
in my batter,
it will make
my batter bitter.
But a bit
of better butter–
that would make
my batter better.”
So she bought
a bit of butter,
better than
her bitter butter.
And she put it
in her batter,
And the batter
was not bitter.
So ’twas better
Betty Botter
bought a bit
of better butter!
