Mama, Look at Boo-Boo Harry Belafonte

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
