| She was my neighbor in the EPA, | |
| smoked a pack on Menthols almost every day. | |
| And in the morning we would hear her croon | |
| as she coughed up her lungs outside our bedroom | |
| She said, My name is Bettina | |
| Yeah, but you can call me Betty | |
| and when you gonna give me some liquor already? | |
| do do dodo dodo do dodo do do.. | |
| She had a short term memory, | |
| I know because she'd always ask me | |
| The same questions again and again | |
| like, when you gonna let me sit in with your band? | |
| She said, my name is Bettina | |
| Yeah, but you can call me Betty | |
| and when you gonna give me some liquor already? | |
| do do dodo dodo do dodo do do.. | |
| It was the cheapest rent we could find | |
| in East Palo Alto, double wide | |
| Houses built to be moved | |
| but they weren't goin' anywhere anytime soon | |
| She had a bite on her finger tip | |
| from trying to feed a squirrel with corn chip | |
| I think about her every once in a while | |
| and whenever I do, it always makes me smile | |
| She said, My name is Bettina | |
| Yeah, but you can call me Betty | |
| She said, My name is Bettina | |
| and is you need me I'll be ready | |
| She said, My name is Bettina | |
| Yeah, but you can call me Betty | |
| and when you gonna have me over | |
| for some liquor already? | |
| do do dodo dodo do dodo do do.. |
