Mama Look at Boa Boa |
| 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» |
| I got carried away |
| 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 |
| 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 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 go |
| My mishpucha 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» |
| «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» |
