Now this is original dogamuffin Shags man

Ay pretty gal I man play hard for get

When I rub up on keen tear to them

Chorus:

Well me no know weh am ya gon' do

Fi get rid of mi burthen

Ugly gal you now go away because me naw look, oh no

Well me no know weh am ya gon' do

Fi get rid of mi burthen

Ugly gal you now go away because me naw look, oh no

Well ugly gal a take set

Pretty gal play hard fi get

Well no man no have no time fi run no witness suit no peg

Ugly gal a take set

Pretty gal play hard fi get

Well no man no have no time fi run no witness suit no peg

Make me love mi pants-foot 'cause nice me start make

Me no know why do me so make ugly gal a take set

Get a pretty gal a the hardest thing

Them the gal know what is with the God-damn act

When you call them name them upon them back

When hoax them name them talk 'bout them fi cut

Some of them a tell you lie and take you fi idiot

Say she named Jennifer when she know she named Pat

When they hear wrong number, loaded gun, ha

When you tell her you're yored, comfortable and relaxed

Sit down pon the chair and pack your foot pon the hassock

Take the telephone, now ready fi go call Pott

A guy I love the number and a woman answer then

Hello, hello, me ask Peter Pott, I say

You have the wrong number, this is a laundromat

Well ugly gal a take set

Pretty gal play hard fi get

Well no man no have no time fi run no witness suit no peg

Chorus:

'Cause me no know weh am ya gon' do

Fi get rid of mi burthen

Ugly gal you now go away because me naw look, oh no

Well me no know weh am ya gon' do

Fi get rid of mi burthen

Ugly gal you now go away because me naw look, oh no

Watch it

Check the pretty gal, a big genii them

And one pretty gal out-walk with ten ugly friend

You go a dancehall and walk up on the whole of them

You want the pretty gal, but you no want the ugly friend

You tell the bartender: "Give her a Heineken"

But she no want it, look back, will you buy one fi the friend

Hmmm ni ni ni ni nay, yea Sangria problem

A whole heap of lyrics, don't want kill her with arguments

A pay for punker can down-buck all pin

Ready fi the phone-number, fi sure I buy your friend

She whispered inna your ears and said: "I have a boyfriend"

I bet you any money before the night end

Nine out to ten you well now pay the ugly friend

Well ugly gal a take set

Pretty gal play hard fi get

Well no man no have no time fi run no witness suit no peg

Chorus:

Well me no know weh am ya gon' do

Fi get rid of mi burthen

Ugly gal you now go away because me naw look, oh no

Ugly gal you now go away because me naw look, oh no
