lyrics

There goes Betty, she's as good as gold
She took my heart and she ain't never letting go
She's the type can turn a dime into a quarter
But she's just happy she's got running water

I've been working on that nine to five
It's getting hard now and I'm trying to make a livin'
I've been working on that nine to five
There's so much take and there's just not enough giving to me

Well I've known Betty for quite a long time
I saw that girl and I knew she had to be mine
She melted my heart like a flame on soft butter
For me there's Betty, there could be no other

I've been working on that nine to five
It's getting hard now and I'm trying to make a livin'
I've been working on that nine to five
There's so much take and there's just not enough giving to me

If you want it
You can ride this world alone
And if you need it
You can find someone to carry on with you
Oh, like Betty

There goes Betty, she's as pretty as can be
People ask what's come over me
They say, Bill ain't quite level on the level
That old Betty she's too clever for me

I've been working on that nine to five
It's getting hard now and I'm trying to make a livin'
I've been working on that nine to five
There's so much take and there's just not enough giving to me

She came walking round the corner
She was there in front of me
Asked her if she'd be my partner
Through eternity
Working for Betty
