Pd... 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

Pd... "Mama, look at bubu" 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 mouth' "
"Go away""Mama, look at bubu" dey (ooh)
"Shut your mouth' " "Go away"
"Mama, look at bubu" dey

Pd... I couldn't even digest me supper
Due to thee 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 thee story in reverse
I drag my belt from off me waist
You should hear them screamin' round de place

Pd... "Mama, look at bubu" 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 mouth' " "Go away"
"Mama, look at bubu" dey
(ooh)"Shut your mouth' " "Go away"
"Mama, look at bubu" dey (oh)

Pd... So I began to question de mother
These children ain't got no behavior
So I began to question de 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

Pd... "Mama, look at bubu" 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 bubu" dey (ooh)
"Shut your mouth' " "Go away
"FADE"Mama, look at bubu"
dey (ooh)"Shut your mouth' "
"Go away" ...Pd.
