If you wanna be happy

(Chorus:)
|: If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life,
never make a pretty woman your wife
So for my personal point of view,
get an ugly girl to marry you :|
 
A pretty woman makes her husband look small
and very often causes his downfall
As soon as he married her and then she starts
to do the things that will break his heart.

But if you make an ugly woman your wife,
you'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ugly woman cooks meals on time,
and she'll always give you peace of mind.

Chorus

Instrumental

Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match
Take it from me, she's a better catch.

Chorus
 
(spoken:)
Say man! - Hey baby!
I saw your wife the other day!
Yeah? - Yeah, an' she's ug-leeee!
Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook*, baby!
Yeah, alright!

Chorus


*(In der für den englischen Markt bestimmten Fassung lautet dieser Satz: "But you should see her cook bubble and squeak!" Wer nicht weiß, was das ist, kann es hier nachlesen - aber wer einen empfindlichen Magen hat, läßt es besser bleiben ;-)
