Pretty girl,
Damn shame,
You let those homely girls,
Come and take your man.
Pretty baby,
Well, you know you're looking good,
Oh but these homely girls,
They're gonna wreck this neighbourhood.
Pretty girl,
Better watch yourself,
Because these homely girls will leave you on the shelf,
Pretty baby,
Yeah, you know you're looking fine,
Oh but these homely girls,
Got a marrying man changing his mind.
Homely baby,
Pretty baby,
Pretty baby,
Homely baby,
Homely baby,
Pretty baby
Told you just what to do,
Pretty girl,
Better watch your man,
Because these homely girls are raising Cain,
Pretty baby,
Oh you know you're the real McCoy,
Oh but these homely girls,
Got a marrying man jumping for joy.
Pretty baby,
Pretty baby,
Homely baby,
Homely baby,
Pretty baby,
Pretty baby,
I told you just what to do,
Pretty girl,
Better watch yourself,
Because these homely girls will leave you on the shelf,
Pretty baby,
Yeah, you know you're looking fine,
Oh but these homely girls,
Got a marrying man changing his mind,
Pretty girl,
You're looking good,
Oh well these homely girls will wreck this neighbourhood.
Pretty baby,
Ah, you know she's the real McCoy,
Oh well these homely girls,
Got a marrying man jumping for joy,
Pretty baby,
Pretty baby,
Homely baby,
Homely baby,
Pretty baby,
Pretty baby,
I told you just what to do,
Pretty girl,
Better watch your man,
Because these homely girls are raising Cain,
Pretty baby,
Yeah, you know she's the real McCoy.
Oh but these homely girls,
Got a marrying man jumping for joy.
