The reason why I've called us all together
Is to share with you some heartbreaking news
You see there's been a d**h in the family and as relatives I thought it best you knew
By now you've noticed Betty's not here with me
And Betty won't be joining us tonight I said there's been a d**h in the family
After all the many years that I've loved her she says she thinks it's best we live apart
Really there's been two d**hs in the family Betty's love for me and my poor heart
You'll all miss her at our family renuion
And I know you'll miss her smiles at Christmas time
But think of me and all the years I've loved her
And pray to God that I don't lose my mind
Oh Lord there's been a d**h in the family all I've ever loved just fell apart
Oh really there's been two d**hs in the family Betty's love for me and my poor heart
