If a Girl Isn't Pretty
If a girl isn't pretty like a Miss Atlantic City
All she gets from life is pity and a pat
Kindly name a star who hasn't won a contest or a pageant
If she hasn't, she just never gets to bat
She must shine in every detail
Like a ring you buy in retail
Be a standard size that fits a standard dress
When a girl's incidentals
Are no bigger than two lentils
Then to me, it doesn't spell success
Frumpy faces that could cause ya
To have temporary nausea
Do I have to hear a lecture such as that?
Is a nose with deviation such a crime against the nation?
Should I throw her into jail or drown the cat?
So she looks a bit off balance
She possesses golden talents
Or is that a pill too bitter to digest?
Oh, she's got very nice deportment, hmm
But when they see that at Ortmund's
From the gallery they'll be throwing fruit!
All she gets from life is pity and a pat
Kindly name a star who hasn't won a contest or a pageant
If she hasn't, she just never gets to bat
She must shine in every detail
Like a ring you buy in retail
Be a standard size that fits a standard dress
When a girl's incidentals
Are no bigger than two lentils
Then to me, it doesn't spell success
Frumpy faces that could cause ya
To have temporary nausea
Do I have to hear a lecture such as that?
Is a nose with deviation such a crime against the nation?
Should I throw her into jail or drown the cat?
So she looks a bit off balance
She possesses golden talents
Or is that a pill too bitter to digest?
Oh, she's got very nice deportment, hmm
But when they see that at Ortmund's
From the gallery they'll be throwing fruit!
