Lyrics

I May Be Ugly

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

With a face like a crab's bus ticket

And skin like a Lama's door mat

He was always gonna struggle

Nature had seen to that

He dreamt of those old fashioned movies

Where Bogart gets the dame

But a lorry load of Lorre

Is still the score of pain

And he sings,"I may be ugly

(La la la)

But I've got the bottle opener"

He may be fat but he's got the cork screw

(La la la)

And in the party party politics of ugly fame

(La la la)

There is no ugly queue

(La la la)

With a chin like a tramp's jukebox

And eyes like a rhino's ash tray

It was always going to be pantomime

That made him sing and dance anyway

When you feel like London

And you look like Hall

You think Travolta pulled Newton John

(La la la)

Who did John hurt Paul?

And he sings I may be ugly

(La la la)

But I've got the bottle opener

(La la la)

He may be fat but he's got the cork screw

(La la la)

And in the party party politics of ugly fame

(La la la)

There is no ugly queue

(La la la)

And they compliment the compliment

(La la la)

And it's driving you insane

(La la la)

It's like talking to a helicopter

(La la la)

When you know that you're a plane

(La la la)

Breath like a mountain goat's satchel

Nose like a pool of sick

But you always leave your flies ahoy

(La la la)

'Cause the world wants to suck your dick

(La la la)

Let it suck

And he sings I may be ugly

(La la la)

But I've got the bottle opener

He may be fat but he's got the cork screw

(La la la)

And in the party party politics of ugly fame

There is no

(La la la)

There is no

There is no

(La la la)

Is no ugly queue

(La la la)
