Lyrics Al Jarreau – Betty Bebop’s Song

I thought I’d drop a line
Just saying
How your song’s
Been playing

Like polka dots and ballerinas
You floated right between us
With gossamer and feathers
You fanned the flames
In (like) portraits caught
In autumn rain

Around and round
Upside-down
Are you just out for air
Or maybe somewhere hiding
Playing ’round the corner

Somewhere I read a line
Just praising
A book and a song
And how the world was brighter
When Betty came along

Around and round
Upside-down
Are you just out for air
Or maybe somewhere hiding
Playing ’round the corner

Somewhere I read a line

This world was brighter
‘Cause Betty came along
