Midchuck, thanks for sharing that parody you remember with us.

Do you think that song was a parody of that song popularized by Belafonte "Mama Look A Boo Boo?"

And do you have any idea if this song was a children's parody meaning it's likely to have been composed by children, or is it an parody some adults made up of another song? I'm leaning to the idea that adults composed this because think its unlikely that most children would call themselves or members of their family ugly (in a song or rhyme that is). But I can definitely "hear" children sayin:

You got no place in the human race
Because your face is ugly.
Just...Plain....Ugly.

All your friends, they live in pens,
And all your kin are ugly.
Just...Plain....Ugly.

Take your Dad, it's really sad.
He looks so bad, he's ugly.
Just...Plain....Ugly.

And your mother, she's another,
Like your brother, ugly.
Just...Plain....Ugly.

That gal of yours, she's six feet nine
Like Frankenstein, she's ugly.
Just...Plain....Ugly.

BTW, Midchuck, where did you hear this (I mean was it in the USA or the UK or elsewhere?)

Sorry for asking all these questions but they're because I've recently gotten a renewed interest in children's parodies.

Thanks again!
