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
