Betty Botta bought some butter;

“But,” said she, “this butter’s bitter!

If I put it in my batter

It will make my batter bitter.

But a bit o’ better butter

Will but make my batter better.”

Then she bought a bit o’ butter

Better than the bitter butter,

Made her bitter batter better.

So ’twas better Betty Botta

Bought a bit o’ better butter.

Same. I don't even remember where I read it, but when I saw "bad butter," it came back to me. And I looked it up, of course.

Huh, that's a lot longer that the version I knew growing up:

"Betty bought some butter, but the butter Betty bought was bitter

So Betty bought some better butter, better than the bitter butter Betty bought before"
