Thread Name: Lyr Req: Always Marry an Ugly Girl
Subject: RE: Always Marry an Ugly Girl
G'day SWT and Callie,

Maybe Callie's offering is an antipodean version (appropriately reversing SWT's lines to the same final effect). Actually I remember much of what Callie writes as being from the Calypso fad period (circa 1963) and the song started with:

If you want to be happy for the rest of your life,
Never make a pretty woman your wife.
So, from a personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you.

I don't think I have sung that since it earned me a clip about the ears from my 1963 girlfriend!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
