E                                 A
The female form, oh Betty Page in leopard print lemonade. 
E                            A
The world became sour at the sight of her. 

Am7                E         Am7        E
I loved her like a sister or a piece of furniture. 

E                                  A
A rubber dress and a leather whip. Her photographs were well equipped at 
E                              A
shocking the government of the day. 

Am7                   E             Am7           E
If they just new poor Betty for her innocence and naivety 

E         A          E                   A
I am miss puritan. I know my answers are right. 
E         A                   E                  A
I am miss holier than. I will win this justified fight. 
         E    A             E    A
It's not easy. No, it's not easy. 

E                                    A                                  
A silver gun what a glorious hit man stuck inside his lover's basement, 
E                               A
thinking about the situation in front of him. 

Am7                 E           Am7      E
He loves her like a mother or a piece of furniture. 

E                                                   A          
Two lives left, and one is for the taking! He's the husband, an insurance agent. 
E                           A
Now he's the target for the postman 

Am7                       E              Am7          E
who brought lust with his deliveries of innocence and naivety. 

E         A          E                   A
I am miss puritan. I know my answers are right. 
E         A                   E                  A
I am miss holier than. I will win this justified fight. 
         E    A             E    A
It's not easy. No, it's not easy. 
         E    A             E    A
It's not easy. No, it's not easy. 

E                                     A                                          
The bullets flew and it hit her face. The insurance paid for the wedding day and 
E                             A
now there's a partner for the postman. 

Am7                 E           Am7      E
He loves her like a mother or a piece of furniture. 

E                                         A                          
And Betty Page isn't made of sin now that Jesus Christ is her only best friend 
E                     A 
and her bikini is her bible. 
Am7                    E                      Am7           E
I guess they call that survival when all your pictures turn yellow.
