Betty Botter bought a bit of butter;
'But,' she said, 'this butter's bitter!
If I put it in my batter
It will make my batter bitter.
But a bit o’ better butter
Will make my batter better.'
Then she bought a bit o’ butter
Better than the bitter butter,
Made her bitter batter better.
So ’Twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit o’ better butter.
