1. BETTY is an alternative rock group from New York City, The group originated in Washington, D.C. and traces its lineage to a birthday party for Dodie Bowers (the original owner of the 9:30 Club).

A "BETTY Rules" t-shirt, an early marketing item of the band, appears on one of the AIDS quilts.
In the late 1980s the band relocated to NYC. The name of their first album, "Hello, BETTY!" comes from the standard opening for all their appearances. In 1995, the band expanded by adding lead guitar and drums to the initial line-up primarily of vocals with electronic accompaniment.
Betty appeared in every episode of the 1986 HBO Series Encyclopedia, singing educational songs each centered around a particular word, as well as performing the opening and closing theme songs. The members involved were Alyson Palmer/Amy Ziff/Elizabeth Ziff, although they were credited in the show's opening titles as simply "Betty".
In 2003 the group starred in its own off-Broadway show BETTY RULES directed by Rent's Michael Greif. The musical ran for 6 months at the Zipper Theatre. The show has since been performed in Chicago at the Lakeside Theatre and at Theater J in Washington, DC. BETTY has appeared as a regular guest artist on the television show The L Word, for which they provided the theme song.

Mae (Betty) Overstreet 2003/2020
CHORUS:
Christmas is the time to tell the story
how Christ came down from Heaven above
Christmas is the time for rejoicing
giving thanks for God’s everlasting love
God knew that something must happen
He was saddened by a world filled with sin
He sent down His beloved son, Jesus
To be born beneath the Star in Bethlehem
The wise men saw the star in the heaven
Shining brightly they followed the light
shepherds traveled far from their home land
Arriving at the stable that night
(instrumental Turn-a-round of previous line)
As they gazed at the babe in the manger
The Christ child who would save us from sin
They heard the heavenly angels singing
“Glory to God, and Peace toward men
Baby Jesus was born in the manger
he came to earth, to share God’s love
Now we celebrate that day in Bethlehem
Singing praises to our savior above
(instrumental Turn-a-round of previous line)
CHORUS:
Yes, Christmas is the time to tell the story
how Christ came down from Heaven above
Christmas is the time for rejoicing
giving thanks for God’s everlasting love
Yes, Christmas is the time to tell the story
how Christ came down from Heaven above
Christmas is the time for rejoicing
giving thanks for God’s everlasting love
thank you Father for your everlasting love
