[G#m]
[F#] [G#m]
[F#] I wonder why [C#] nobody don't like me
[F#] Or is it the fact that I'm [F#] ugly?
I wonder why [G#m] nobody don't like me
Or is it [C#] the fact that I'm ugly?
I leave my [C#] old house and go
My children don't want me no more
[F#] Bad dog [C#]
inside the house they [F#] bring
And when [G#m] I talk [C#] they [F#] start to sing
Mama look a poo poo, they shout
Dear mother tell them shut up your mouth
That is [F#] your daddy, oh no
[G#m] My daddy can't be ugly so
Shut your mouth, go away

[G#] Shut your mouth, go away
Mama look a poo poo, they
[C#] [F#]
[C#]
[F#] I couldn't [C#] even digest me supper
[F#] Due [C#] to the children's behaviour
[F#] John, yes [C#] pa, come here a [F#] moment
Bring the belt, [C#] you much too [F#] impudent
John says [G#m] it's James who [C#] started [F#] first
James tells [G#m] the [C#] story in [G#] reverse
I drag my belt from off me waist
You should hear them [C#] screaming round the [F#] place
Mama look a poo poo, they shout
[G#m] Dear mother tell them shut up your mouth
That [F#] is your daddy, oh no
[G#m] My daddy can't [F#] be ugly so

[F#] These [C#] children ain't got no behaviour
[F#] So I [C#] began to question the mother
[F#] These children [C#] ain't got no behaviour
[F#] They're playing [G#m] with you my [C#] wife declare
You should be proud of them my dear
These children were taught to bloom in [F#] slack
That ain't no kind of joke to crack
Mama look a poo poo, they shout
Dear [D#m] mother tell them shut up your mouth
That is your daddy, oh no
