Lyrics Bettina - Zach Gill

Bettina

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.
