Pete and Bette
Old Man Pete lived all alone
in a junk yard trailer
he called home
Had a dog with a crooked leg
a one eyed cat
whose name was Fred
Lost his wife name of Bev
ran her down
with his '64 Chev
Met a stripper name of Bette
just while surfing
on the net
She'd been wed for many a year
but hubby died
from too much beer
Second partner name of Frank
was doing time
for robbing bank
Next came Al who was a sport
but drinking landed
him in court
Then she met a chap named Ben
who now sits
in a New York pen
Last came Leroy who ran away
with Bette's sister
Tammy Mae
Bette and Pete soon got wed
then he took her
to his bed
Bette went into part time hooking
white Pete stayed home
and did the cooking
Each night they sit so glad they wed
with their three legged dog
and cat named Fred
