Intro: |A A |G G D D|A A |A A | 

Verse 1
A A G G
I guess I was skeptical when I first met Dr. Martin
A A
He said we could build a baby out of DNA
D D
And although it was expensive it was legal in the states
A A G G D D A A
where it wasn't banned
E E D D C C
It was Betty who suggested we cut out the parts of me
A A G G D D A A
that she can't stand

Pre-chorus 1
F#m F#m Aaug6/F Aaug6/F A6/E A6/E D#m7b5 D#m7b5
So we made an appointment and Betty went alone
F#m F#m Aaug6/F Aaug6/F A6/E A6/E D#m7b5 D#m7b5
They worked out the details and then called me on the phone
Bm Bm E E E6 E6 E7 E7
To say congratulations Dad

Chorus
A A E E D D A A
Now things are getting better for Betty and me
A A E E D D A A F#m F#m
We're making us a baby that's just like me only better
B7 B7 F#m F#m
And Betty says he'll be taller
B7 B7 F#m F#m
And Betty says he'll be smarter
B7 B7 D D E E
And Betty says that our baby will be better than me

Verse 2
A A G G
Betty was pretty firm about our baby being human
A A
I said we should give him wings and nice prehensile tail
D D A A G G D D A A
He could travel with the circus making money, making friends with clowns
E E D D C C A A G G D D A A
Betty said that's stupid and for God's sake would you turn that TV down?

Pre-chorus 2
F#m F#m Aaug6/F Aaug6/F A6/E A6/E D#m7b5 D#m7b5
Now I've seen Betty happy, but she's never been like this
F#m F#m Aug6/F A6/E A6/E D#m7b5 D#m7b5
She glows like someone's girlfriend in the middle of a kiss
Bm Bm E E E6 E6 E7 E7
And I'm excited too

Chorus
A A E E D D A A
Now things are getting better for Betty and me
A A E E D D A A F#m F#m
We're making us a baby that's just like me only better
B7 B7 F#m F#m
And Betty says he'll be taller
B7 B7 F#m F#m
And Betty says he'll be smarter
B7 B7 D D E E
And Betty says that our baby will be better than me

Bridge
C C A A
And the love inside me thunders like a storm
C C A A
And I hope the tube they keep him in is comfortable and warm
C C D D
I hope the nutritive solution that they're feeding him
E E
doesn't make him fat

Verse 3
A A G G
Betty's been spending lots of time out late with Dr. Martin
A A
She says that they're working on the baby every night
D D A A G G D D A A
And Dr. Martin brings her presents like new underwear and a bottle of wine
E E D D C C A A G G D D A A
I'll just keep on writing checks until the day that baby is mine

Pre-chorus 3
F#m F#m Aaug6/F Aaug6/F A6/E A6/E D#m7b5 D#m7b5
He might have my moustache or my freckles or my eyes
F#m F#m Aaug6/F Aaug6/F A6/E A6/E D#m7b5 D#m7b5
Betty says it's better if we keep it a surprise
Bm Bm E E E6 E6 E7 E7
I hope I find out soon

Final Chorus
A A E E D D A A
Now things are getting better for Betty and me
A A E E D D A A F#m F#m
We're making us a baby that's just like me only better
B7 B7 F#m F#m
And Betty says he'll be taller
B7 B7 F#m F#m
And Betty says he'll be smarter
B7 B7 D D E E
And Betty says that our baby will be better than
D D E E
Baby will be better than
D D E E A A G G D D A A
Baby will be better than me.
