Intro: | A5 | G5 D5 | A5 | A5 |
Verse 1
A5 G5
I guess I was skeptical when I first met Dr. Martin
A5
He said we could build a baby out of DNA
D5
And although it was expensive it was legal in the states
A5 G5 D5 A5
where it wasn't banned
E5 D5 C5
It was Betty who suggested we cut out the parts of me
A5 G5 D5 A5
that she can't stand
Pre-chorus 1
F#5 Aaug6/F5 A5 D#5
So we made an appointment and Betty went alone
F#5 Aaug6/F5 A5 D#5
They worked out the details and then called me on the phone
B5 E5 E5 E5
To say congratulations Dad
Chorus
A5 E5 D5 A5
Now things are getting better for Betty and me
A5 E5 D5 A5 F#5
We're making us a baby that's just like me only better
B5 F#5
And Betty says he'll be taller
B5 F#5
And Betty says he'll be smarter
B5 D5 E5
And Betty says that our baby will be better than me
Verse 2
A5 G5
Betty was pretty firm about our baby being human
A5
I said we should give him wings and nice prehensile tail
D5 A5 G5 D5 A5
He could travel with the circus making money, making friends with clowns
E5 D5 C5 A5 G5 D5 A5
Betty said that's stupid and for God's sake would you turn that TV down?
Pre-chorus 2
F#5 Aaug6/F5 A5 D#5
Now I've seen Betty happy, but she's never been like this
F#5 Aug6/F5 A5 D#5
She glows like someone's girlfriend in the middle of a kiss
B5 E5 E5 E5
And I'm excited too
Chorus
A5 E5 D5 A5
Now things are getting better for Betty and me
A5 E5 D5 A5 F#5
We're making us a baby that's just like me only better
B5 F#5
And Betty says he'll be taller
B5 F#5
And Betty says he'll be smarter
B5 D5 E5
And Betty says that our baby will be better than me
Bridge
C5 A5
And the love inside me thunders like a storm
C5 A5
And I hope the tube they keep him in is comfortable and warm
C5 D5
I hope the nutritive solution that they're feeding him
E5
doesn't make him fat
Verse 3
A5 G5
Betty's been spending lots of time out late with Dr. Martin
A5
She says that they're working on the baby every night
D5 A5 G5 D5 A5
And Dr. Martin brings her presents like new underwear and a bottle of wine
E5 D5 C5 A5 G5 D5 A5
I'll just keep on writing checks until the day that baby is mine
Pre-chorus 3
F#5 Aaug6/F5 A5 D#5
He might have my moustache or my freckles or my eyes
F#5 Aaug6/F5 A5 D#5
Betty says it's better if we keep it a surprise
B5 E5 E5 E5
I hope I find out soon
Final Chorus
A5 E5 D5 A5
Now things are getting better for Betty and me
A5 E5 D5 A5 F#5
We're making us a baby that's just like me only better
B5 F#5
And Betty says he'll be taller
B5 F#5
And Betty says he'll be smarter
B5 D5 E5
And Betty says that our baby will be better than
D5 E5
Baby will be better than
D5 E5 A5 G5 D5 A5
Baby will be better than me.
