TEXT

​"Betty Botter's Butter"
Traditional, with new text by Jeffrey Cobb

 
Betty Botter had some butter, "But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter, it would make my batter bitter.
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 little bit of better butter!

Betty Botter took her batter and she made a batch of biscuits.
First she put the biscuit batter in her quicker biscuit mixer; flicked the switcher on her mixer, churning butter, turning batter.
Betty took her finished batter from the mixer to a platter.
Put the platter in the oven, cooking her mixed biscuit batter.
With the help of better butter, Betty Botter's biscuits made her fatter!

Betty Botter had a buddy, and her name was Betty Crocker; tell us Betty what is in your famous recipe?
