Little Betty ate a pound of aspirin
She got them from the shelf upon the wall
Betty's mommy wasn't there to save her
She didn't even hear her baby call
(Waaah!)
Dead babies can take care of themselves
Dead babies can't take things off the shelf
Well we didn't want you anyway
Lalala-la, lalala-la, la la la
Daddy is an agrophile in Texas
Mommy's on the bar most every night
Little Betty's sleeping in the graveyard
Living there in burgundy and white
Dead babies can take care of themselves
Dead babies can't take things off the shelf
Well we didn't love you anyway
ma ma ma-ma, ma ma ma-ma, ma ma ma
Goodbye, Little Betty
Goodbye, Little Betty
So long, Little Betty
So long, Little Betty
Betty, so long
Dead babies can take care of themselves
Dead babies can't take things off the shelf
Well we didn't need you anyway
ma ma ma-ma, ma ma ma ma-ma, ma ma ma
Goodbye, Little Betty
(Order in the court! Order in the court room!
Order! Order in the court! Order!...)

Review about Dead Babies Awesome | Reviewer: Tariq | 6/30/2008
I loved this song. It has an awesome message not to neglect, and to pay attention to your children at all times. Also Rob this song isn't sick at all, If you do things like leave aspirin on a low shewlf in your house then this can be the result of it.
Abuse | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/23/2008
This song is just showing how careless some parents can be... storing stuff like medicine on LOW shelves instead of high ones... and how bad child abuse can be leading to death
In my opinion this is exactly what happened to Madeline Mcann
Great song | Reviewer: Ben | 3/5/2008
Dead Babies is a song against child abuse and regret. It's not about Mr. Cooper jacking off when he's thinking about dead babies. Jesus Christ.
Oh, and if you've got some free time, look up the Iced Earth version of this song. It's a flippin' awesome cover.
Great Cooper Song | Reviewer: sickpuppy | 12/15/2007
This is an awesome Cooper song. It's art imitating life. He's throwing it back into the faces of people who have let this type of tragedy slip into their life. Simple as that!
In my opinion... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/22/2007
..yes, this is a disturbing song, but because it talks of something we usually let happen without doing anything, it's disturbing because you must think about sad things that happens everyday and could be avoided. It's a moving song, every time I hear it makes me sad but it also makes me think so I think it's a good song. It leaves you with something.
Against child abuse | Reviewer: Paul Slayer, Romania | 6/10/2007
I think you're mistaken, this song is not the typical shock-rocker, it's a asong against abusing children and neglecting them. It sounds shocking, indeed, but sometimes this is the only way to draw attention to some serious problems.
Is Killers Sickness or Art? | Reviewer: rob | 5/20/2007
I have loved cooper for decades. I have seen him in concert and own mint first pressings of Pretties for you and easy action on the "Straight" label. When I was younger songs like "Dead Babies" didn't phase me, but anymore, I see a song like "Dead Babies" as unneccserily sick - even for Alice Cooper. That doesn't mean that I want Alice to start singing adult contemporary (though anyone with half a mind that has listended to Cooper knows he is a fantastic Ballard writer). I guess I will play off songs like "Dead Babies" to the need to be outragous as Alice and the Billion dollar babies mapped their career.
