Better, Not Bitter (Extended 1)

Chorus

Betty bought a butter but the butter tasted bitter

She thought maybe better butter would fix her little dinner

Ran to the corner shop, wallet in her sweater

But the better butter tasted bitter, nothing got better

Post-Chorus

Better, better, better, still bitter, bitter

Better, better, better, still bitter, bitter

Verse 2

Third time’s the charm, she’s racing down the aisle

Eyes scanning labels, takes her a while

Another better butter, heart skips with hope

Cracks a tiny grin as she takes her first loaf

Pre-Chorus

Tasting time, she nods her head

Finally, that bitter bite has fled

All her searching led her here

A spread worth the trouble, clear

Chorus

Betty bought a butter but the butter tasted bitter

She thought maybe better butter would fix her little dinner

Ran to the corner shop, wallet in her sweater

This time the better butter really did taste better

Post-Chorus

Better, better, better, finally better

Better, better, better, finally better

Outro

Betty lifts her toast and sings a little tune

Laughs at the memory of bitter afternoon

She’s got her better butter, the quest complete at last

Spreads it on thick, forgetting all the past

Post-Chorus

Better, better, better—Betty’s clever

Better, better, better—found her flavor

Outro Tag

No more bitter, just a creamy treasure

Betty’s better butter, joy she’ll always measure
