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.
