Betty and Her Friend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
June Bug told Dupree
that Betty was through with me
Now I'm sitting by the phone
And I'm waiting all alone
For Betty Pretty Betty
Seems that the woman ain't got no clothes
And all the money she had she owes
Now I'm sitting by the phone
And I'm waiting all alone
For Betty, Pretty Betty
Now Betty she got a girl friend
Her friend says, "Anything that you need I'll send"
But oh the woman, God, she loves to spend
Hit me up for all the money
that she could lend
Now I'm sitting by the phone
I'm so worried 'bout my loan
to Betty and her friend
I believed her when she told me that she'd call
Soon as her plane touched down in Nepal
But I guess the woman, well I guess she's gone
But I still got Betty's friend to keep me warm
Now I'm ripping out the phone
I guess you should know
'bout Betty pretty Betty
