Bad, bad, bad, she's out bein' bad
Bad, bad, bad, she's out bein' bad
Betty's out bein' bad tonight
Bad, bad, bad, she's out bein' bad
Betty and her boyfriend, they had a big fight
Said, "Pack your bags, I want you out"
Betty's bein' bad, Betty's bein' bad
'Til he saw her standing with a .45
Now, if you go out and you see Betty
Betty's out bein' bad tonight
Bye, bye, Betty, good-bye
Betty's not mad, she's just getting even
She's gonna be bad 'til the whole town stinks
A .45's quicker than 409
Betty's bein' bad, Betty's bein' bad
Betty's bein' bad, it's her way of leaving
Betty and her boyfriend, they had a big fight
'Til it all freezes over and you catch a cold
Her boyfriend thought she was talking jive
Well, she went home when she found out
Don't scream and shout, unless you're ready
She don't care what nobody thinks
Betty cleaned house for the very last time
She found out what everybody knew
You are ready to rock, ready to roll
Bye, bye, Betty, good-bye
Betty's bein' bad, Betty's bein' bad
Betty's out bein' bad tonight
Too many cooks spoil the stew
Betty and her boyfriend, they had a big fight
