I wonder why nobody don't like me
|
Or is it the fact that I'm ugly?
|
I wonder why nobody don't like me
|
Or is it the fact that I'm ugly?
|
|
I leave my whole house and home
|
My children don't want me no more
|
Bad talk inside the house they bring
|
And when I talk they start to sing
|
|
¡°Mama, look a boo boo,¡± they shout
|
Their mother tell them, ¡°Shut up your mouth¡±
|
¡°That is your daddy, oh, no
|
My daddy can't be ugly¡±
|
|
¡°So, shut your mouth, go away
|
Mama, look at boo boo they
|
Shut your mouth, go away
|
Mama, look at boo boo they¡±
|
|
I couldn't even digest my supper
|
Due to the children's behavior
|
¡°John, yes pa, come here a moment
|
Bring the belt, you're much too impudent¡±
|
|
John says, ¡°It's James who started first¡±
|
James tells the story in reverse
|
I drag my belt from off me waist
|
You should hear them screaming round the place
|
|
¡°Mama, look at boo boo,¡± they shout
|
Their mother tell them, ¡°Shut up your mouth
|
That is your daddy, oh, no
|
My daddy can't be ugly¡±
|
|
¡°So, shut your mouth, go away
|
Mama, look at boo boo they
|
Shut your mouth, go away
|
Mama, look at boo boo they¡±
|
|
I got carried away
|
So I began to question the mother
|
"These children ain't got no behavior"
|
So I began to question the mother
|
"These children ain't got no behavior"
|
|
"They're playing with you," my wife declared
|
"You should be proud of them, my dear"
|
Then children were taught too blooming slack
|
That ain't no kind of joke to crack
|
|
¡°Mama, look at boo boo,¡± they shout
|
Their mother tell them, ¡°Shut up your mouth
|
That is your daddy, oh, no
|
My daddy can't be ugly¡±
|
|
¡°So, shut your mouth, go away
|
Mama, look at boo boo they
|
Shut your mouth, go away
|
Mama, look at boo boo they"
