Mama Look At Babu |
| 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 de house dey bring |
| And when I talk they start to sing |
| 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 dey |
| Shut your mouth, go away |
| Mama, look at boo-boo dey |
| I couldn’t even digest me supper |
| Due to the children’s behavior |
| John, come here a moment |
| (Yes, pa) |
| Bring de 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 de 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 dey |
| Shut your mouth, go away |
| Mama, look at boo-boo dey |
| 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 |
| These children were taught too bloomin' 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 dey |
| Shut your mouth, go away |
| Mama, look at boo-boo dey |
| Shut your mout', go away |
