A                                                 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     G  D  A
where it wasn't banned

       E                          D                C
It was Betty who suggested we cut out the parts of me

               A    G  D  A
that she can't stand
Pre-chorus 1
   F#m         Aaug6/F        A6/E       D#m7b5   
So we made an appointment and Betty went alone

F#m                 Aaug6/F          A6/E             D#m7b5
They worked out the details and then called me on the phone

       Bm              E  E6 E7
To say congratulations Dad
Chorus
A                      E          D         A
Now things are getting better for Betty and me

A                 E           D         A       F#m
We're making us a baby that's just like me only better

    B7                  F#m
And Betty says he'll be taller

    B7                  F#m
And Betty says he'll be smarter

    B7                  D            E
And Betty says that our baby will be better than me
Verse 2
A                                            G
Betty was pretty firm about our baby being human

A
I said we should give him wings and nice prehensile tail

         D                                                        A     G   D   A
He could travel with the circus making money, making friends with clowns

E                                D                    C            A    G   D   A
Betty said that's stupid and for God's sake would you turn that TV down?
Pre-chorus 2
    F#m             Aaug6/F          A6/E            D#m7b5
Now I've seen Betty happy, but she's never been like this

    F#m                  Aug6/F            A6/E        D#m7b5 
She glows like someone's girlfriend in the middle of a kiss

    Bm          E  E6 E7
And I'm excited too
Chorus
A                      E          D         A

    B7                  D            E
And Betty says that our baby will be better than me
Bridge
C                                      A
And the love inside me thunders like a storm

C                                       A
And I hope the tube they keep him in is comfortable and warm

C                                          D
I hope the nutritive solution that they're feeding him

                 E
doesn't make him fat
Verse 3
A                                                       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

        D                                                             A   G  D  A
And Dr. Martin brings her presents like new underwear and a bottle of wine

E                                  D                C           A  G  D  A
I'll just keep on writing checks until the day that baby is mine
Pre-chorus 3
F#m              Aaug6/F         A6/E           D#m7b5
He might have my moustache or my freckles or my eyes

F#m             Aaug6/F      A6/E         D#m7b5
Betty says it's better if we keep it a surprise

  Bm              E   E6 E7
I hope I find out soon
