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 de house dey bring
And when I talk they start to sing:
Mama, look a boo-boo they shout
Their mother tell them shut up your mout`
That is your daddy, oh, no
My daddy can`t be ugly so
Shut your mout`, Go away
Mama, look at boo-boo dey
Shut your mout`, Go away
Mama, look at boo-boo dey
I couldn`t even digest me supper
Due to the children`s behavior
John (Yes, pa)-come here a moment
Bring de 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 screamin` round de place
Mama, look at boo-boo they shout
Their mother tell them shut up your mout`
That is your daddy, oh, no
My daddy can`t be ugly so
Shut your mout`, Go away
Mama, look at boo-boo dey (uh)
Shut your mout`, Go away
Mama, look at boo-boo dey (uh)
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
These children were taught too bloomin` slack
That ain`t no kind of joke to crack
Mama, look at boo-boo they shout
Their mother tell them shut up your mout`
That is your daddy, oh, no
My daddy can`t be ugly so
