[Music box, four bars] [bass drops in late] [Verse 1] [voice: lead, close and dry] Katy sold a clock with no hands. Bettie found a jar at the back. It was warm, and it hummed, and it moved, and the label said DO NOT UNPACK. [Pre-Chorus] [kit comes in, soft kick] She opened it. Of course she did. Now she's green, and she's rooted, and small. There's a pot on the counter with Bettie in it and a price tag hung on the wall. [Chorus] [full kit, handclaps] Ka-a-ty, Kattie, Bettie, Bettie! What you gonna do with Bettie? (mind the step) Katy, Kattie, is she getting dizzy? (that'll be two and six) Prickly, but pretty, that's my Bettie. (who's next) [Verse 2] [voice: lead, close and dry] I brought her a coffee. She can't hold a cup. Katy took it and drank the lot. Bettie shivered and grew a bud, pink and ridiculous, right on top. [Break] [beat stops dead] Cactus. [one chord, groove returns] [Chorus] Ka-a-ty, Kattie, Bettie, Bettie! What you gonna do with Bettie? (mind the step) Katy, Kattie, will she come back to me? (we close at six) Prickly, but pretty, that's my Bettie. (who's next) [Bridge] [guitar and celeste only] [voice: ASMR whisper, very close, breathy] Katy says the seeds are seasonal. [voice: lead, close and dry] Katy says a lot of things. Bettie turned to catch the window and she hasn't asked for anything. [Final Chorus] [full kit, clap layer doubles] Ka-a-ty, Kattie, Bettie, Bettie! What you gonna do with Bettie? (mind the step) Katy, Kattie, does she want the sun? (we're open till six) Prickly, but pretty, that's my Bettie. (who's next) [Outro] [celeste alone, no drums] Prickly, but pretty, that's my Bettie. [hard cut on the downbeat]
