I guess I was skeptical when I first met Dr. Martin    He said we could build a baby out of DNA    And although it was expensive it was legal in the states where it wasn't banned    It was Betty who suggested we cut out the parts of me that she can't stand      So we made an appointment and Betty went alone    They worked out the details and then called me on the phone    To say congratulations Dad       Now things are getting better for Betty and me    We're making us a baby that's just like me only better    And Betty says he'll be taller    And Betty says he'll be smarter    And Betty says that our baby will be better than me       Betty was pretty firm about our baby being human    I said we should give him wings and nice prehensile tail    He could travel with the circus making money, making friends with clowns    Betty said that's stupid and for God's sake would you turn that TV down?       Now I've seen Betty happy, but she's never been like this    She glows like someone's girlfriend in the middle of a kiss    And I'm excited too       Cause things are getting better for Betty and me    We're making us a baby that's just like me only better    And Betty says he'll be taller    And Betty says he'll be smarter    And Betty says that our baby will be better than me       And the love inside me thunders like a storm    And I hope the tube they keep him in is comfortable and warm    I hope the nutritive solution that they're feeding him doesn't make him fat       Betty's been spending lots of time out late with Dr. Martin    She says that they're working on the baby every night    And Dr. Martin brings her presents like new underwear and a bottle of wine    I'll just keep on writing checks until the day that baby is mine       He might have my moustache or my freckles or my eyes    Betty says it's better if we keep it a surprise    I hope I find out soon       Cause things are getting better for Betty and me    We're making us a baby that's just like me only better    And Betty says he'll be taller    And Betty says he'll be smarter    And Betty says that our baby will be better than    Baby will be better than    Baby will be better than me
