Betty Botter | Nursery Rhyme Lyrics

Betty Botter bought some butter

But she said the butter’s bitter,

“If I put it in my batter

It will make my batter bitter,

But a bit of better butter

Will make my batter better.”

So she bought some better butter

Better than the bitter butter,

And she put it in her batter

And her batter was not bitter,

So ’twas better Betty Botter

Bought a bit of better butter

“”Betty Botter” Original lyrics

“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.
