UGLY CHILD (YOU'RE SOME PRETTY DOLL)
Written by Clarence Williams & George Brunis
As recorded by Vic Lewis and Jack Parnell's Jazzmen, Parlophone R.2960, 1940.

Now you're so ugly; you're so ugly.
You're some ugly child.
Now the clothes that you wear are not in style.
You look like an ape ev'ry time you smile.
Oh, how I hate you, you alligator bait you,
The homeliest thing I ever saw.
You're knock-kneed, pigeon-toed, box-ankled too.
There's a curse on your fam'ly and it fell on you.
Your teeth are yellow; who's your fellow?
You're some ugly child.

[Instrumental break]

You're five-by-five and you're cross-eyed too.
There's a curse on your fam'ly and it fell on you.
Your hair is nappy; who's your pappy?
You're some ugly child.
