Intro: |A |

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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