A famous tongue twister!
Remember that "tt" between vowels is pronounced with a "D" sound, not "T". Listen to these examples pronounced slowly:
Botter
Butter
Bitter
Betty Botter bought some butter
But she said the butter’s bitter
If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter
But a bit of better butter will make my batter better
So ‘twas better Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter
Unrelated except insofar as it's an amazing example of speaking English at high speed, here is the Major General's Song from the light opera, the Pirates of Penzance on youtube. Don't try to understand it--it's mostly nonsense.
