Mama, Look A Boo Boo - Harry Belafonte (哈里·贝拉方特)

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

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

Daddy can't be ugly My

So shut your mouth go away

Mama look at boo boo they

Shut your mouth go away

Mama look at boo boo they"

So shut your mouth go away

Mama look at boo boo they

Shut your mouth go away

Mama look at boo boo they

Shut your mouth go away

Mama look at boo boo they
