Mama Look a' Boo Boo Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

I wonder why nobody don′t like me
Or is it the fact that im ugly
I wonder why nobody don't like me
Or is it the fact that im ugly
I leave my own house and go
My children don′t want me no more
Bad dog inside the house they bring
And when i come they start to sing
Mama look a booboo
They shout
Their mother tell them shut up your mouth
That is your daddy, oh no! My daddy cant be ugly so!
Shut your mouth, go away, mama look a booboo day
Shut your mouth, go away, mama look a booboo day
I couldn't even digest me supper
Due to the children's behavior
John n′est pas
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 a booboo
They shout
Their mother tell them shut up your mouth
That is your daddy, oh no!
My daddy cant be ugly so!
Shut your mouth, go away, mama look a booboo day
Shut your mouth, go away, mama look a booboo day
...
So i began to question ther mother
These children ain′t got no behavior
I began to question ther mother
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 to bloomin' slack
That ain′t no kinda joke to crack
Mama look a booboo
They shout
Their mother tell them shut up your mouth
That is your daddy, oh no!
My daddy cant be ugly so!
Shut your mouth, go away, mama look a booboo day
Shut your mouth, go away, mama look a booboo day
End
