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