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
They cursing black is white and thing
And when I talk dey start to sing:
"Mama, look a boo-boo!" dey shout
Their mother tell dem' 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 boo-boo dey
Shut your mouth 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 too damn vigilant"
"Daddy, it's Jean who started first"
"No daddy, it's Joyce who started curse"
I drag me belt off me waist
If you see races out de place
"Mama, look a boo-boo!" dey shout
Their mother tell dem' 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 boo-boo dey
Shut your mouth go away
Mama look at boo-boo dey
So I took a turn on their mother
"These children ain't got no behavior
I can't rest in peace in me own place
Tell me what is wrong with me damn face?"
"They're playin' with you", me wife declared
"You should be proud of dem, me dear
These children were taught too bloomin' slack"
They ain't no kind'a joke to crack
"Mama, look a boo-boo!" dey shout
Their mother tell dem' 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 boo-boo dey
Shut your mouth go away
Mama look at boo-boo dey
So, me wife and I had a big disturbance
Owing to the constant annoyance
In order to live peaceful and happy
She send de children in the country
Comin' home a day after working very hard
A woman see me and she faint 'way in me yard
The neighbor ran and pick she up
She recover but de woman wouldn't stop
"Neighbor, I see boo-boo, oh Lord
Walkin' in de backyard, oh Lord!"
I ran to assist her, she bawl
"Oh Lord, look de boo-boo still in de yard!"
Shut your mouth, go away
Mama look at boo-boo dey!
Shut your mouth, go away
Mama, look at boo-boo dey
