Lyrics
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 a boo boo dey Shut your mout', go away Mama, look a 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 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 a 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 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 a boo boo dey (uh) Shut your mout', go away Mama, look a boo boo dey (uh) Shut your mout', go away Mama, look a boo boo dey (uh)
