Heavens to Betsy Remember to curtsy Not bow, you’re wearing a dress For God’s sake Japanese wine is for Geishas to serve - Don’t you dare drink it - With me watching - Don’t you dare to look me in the eyes. I'll get it out of you and send a bill for the Kimono, too - Get your feet in the fucking shoes If they get bigger You'll be an unfuckable cow - No one wants a cow to keep Unless, except to eat Remember that when you get thirsty for meat. And don’t you ever drink from the cup of The Man that keeps you either. Fill it, wash it, serve it, you don’t deserve it. Plus, there may be a curious whiff of poison - The best thing Betsy ever did before she went to Heaven.
