[Verse 1]
[D]I w[Em]onder[A] w[D]hy n[Em]obod[A]y d[D]on't like m[A]e,
[D]or is it the fac[A]t that I'm ugl[D]y?[A][D][A]
[D]I leave my o[G]ld h[A]ouse and[D] go,
my children [G]don't want [A]me no [D]more.
Bad talk in[G]side the [A]house they bring,
[D]and when I tal[G]k they sta[A]rt to sing.
[D]Mama look a boo boo, they shout
Hey [G]mother tell them shut
up your mouth
Daddy's your [D]daddy, oh no
[A]My daddy can't be ugly so
[D]Shut your mouth, go away
Mama look a [Em]boo boo [A]dey
[D]Shut your mouth, go away
Mama look a [A]boo boo [D]dey

[D]I couldn't even dig[Em]est m[A]e supper,
[D]due to the childre[A]n's behaviour.
[D]John, come [A]here a [D]moment, bring the belt,
[A]you're much too impudent.
[D]John says it's
[G]James who star[A]ted [D]first,
James tells the [G]story [A]in re[D]verse.
I drag my [G]belt from off me [D]waist,
you should hear them [G]screaming round [A]the place.
[D]Mama luka bubu, they shout
[Em]Dear mother, tell [G]them,
shut up your [Em]mouth
That is your [D]daddy, oh no
My [Em]daddy [A]can't be [D]ugly, so
Shut your mouth, go away
Mama luka [Em]bubu [A]de
[D]Shut your mouth, go away
Mama luka [A]bubu [D]de[A]

[D]So I began to ques[A]tion the mother,
[D]These children ain't [A]got no [D]behavior.
So I began to [A]question the mother,
[D]These children ain't got[A] no behavior.
[D]They're playing with you[Em],
[G]my [Em]wife de[D]clare,
You should be [G]proud of [A]them,
my [G]dear.[D]
These children [G]were [Em]taught
to [A]bloom in slack,
[D]That ain't no [G]kind of jok[A]e to cra[D]ck.
Mama look up, boo -boo, they shout
[G]Dear mother,
tell them shut up your mouth
That is your [D]daddy, oh no
My [A]daddy [Em]can '[A]t be of use, o[D]h
Shut your mouth, go away
Mama look [Em]up, boo [A]-boo, they
[D]Shut your mouth, go away
Mama look [Em]up, boo [A]-boo, they
[D]Shut your mouth, go away
[D]Mama look up, boo -boo, they
