Betty Botter bought some butter;
“But”, said she, “this butter’s bitter!
If I put it in my batter
It will make my batter bitter.
But a bit o’ better butter
Will but 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.

Tried to teach two young tooters to toot.
