Mama Look At Bubu Lyrics - 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 bubu" they shout 

Their mother tell them "shut up your mout' " 

"That is your daddy", "oh, no" 

"My daddy can't be ugly so" 

"Shut your mout' " "Go away" 

"Mama, look at bubu" dey (ooh) 

"Shut your mout' " "Go away" 

"Mama, look at bubu" dey

I couldn't even digest me supper 

Due to thee children's behavior 

John ("Yes, pa")-"come here a moment" 

"Bring de belt, you're much too impudent" 

John says it's James who started first 

James tells thee story in reverse 

I drag my belt from off me waist 

You should hear dem screamin' round de place 

"Mama, look at bubu" they shout 

Their mother tell them "shut up your mout' " 

"That is your daddy", "oh, no" 

"My daddy can't be ugly so" 

"Shut your mout' " "Go away" 

"Mama, look at bubu" dey (ooh) 

"Shut your mout' " "Go away" 

"Mama, look at bubu" dey (oh)

So I began to question de mudda 

These children ain't got no behavior 

So I began to question de mudda

"They're playing with you" my wife declared 

"You should be proud of them, my dear" 

"These children were taught too bloomin' slack" 

That ain't no kind of joke to crack

Their mother tell them "shut up your mout' " 

"That is your daddy", "oh, no"
