Mama, Look a BooBoo
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 the house they bring
And when I talk they start to sing
? Mama, look a boo boo,? 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 boo boo they
Shut your mouth, go away
Mama, look at boo boo they?
I couldn't even digest my supper
Due to the children's behavior
? John, yes pa, come here a moment
Bring the 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 screaming round the place
? Mama, look at boo boo,? 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 boo boo they
Shut your mouth, go away
Mama, look at boo boo they?
I got carried away
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"
Then children were taught too blooming slack
That ain't no kind of joke to crack
? Mama, look at boo boo,? 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 boo boo they
Shut your mouth, go away
Mama, look at boo boo they"
I wonder why nobody don't like me
