lyrics

her skin is dark and rough as I approach,
I think she may be dead.
“No, Betsy!” I yell.
She is too young to die.
From the looks of her, physically, y’know like, her condition,
i’d say, mid-80’s.
she’s got long arms and legs, a long neck too.
she’s a little tall for me but i like her anyway.
i don’t think she’s dead.
some of her skin is just falling off
but that’s okay. she never really moves,
that’s what made me think she’s dead, you see.
but she’s not dead, just lazy and skin falling off.
all her hair is gone.
it was probably caused to fall out because of seasonal depression.
i ask even though i shouldn’t and she says,
“ya, but it will grow back soon, i think.” i shope she’s right.
poor betsy looks so sad, and lonely.
but she isn’t dead yet, so it can’t be that bad.
