Mama Look-A Boo Boo

In the style of

Harry Belafonte

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-a 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-a
boo boo dey
uh
shut your mouth
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 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
screamin'
round the place

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-a
boo boo dey
uh
shut your mouth
go away
mama look-a
boo boo dey
uh uh

so i began
to question
the mudda
these children
ain't got no behavior

so i began
to question
the mudda
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 kinda
joke to crack

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-a
boo boo dey

uh
shut your mouth
go away
mama look-a
boo boo dey

uh
shut your mouth
go away
mama look-a
boo boo dey
uh
shut your mouth
go away
