What Was That?

Have you ever had the experience one day of suddenly realizing that you've heard a song for years, yet never realized what they were singing? The past two days have been full of revelations for me. When D told me she was flying home for a week I said, "O, that's nice...near your birthday too...its great your taking some time off." Little did I remember that next week is Thanksgiving! HELLO! Major US holiday. I guess since I've heard those annoying chimpmunks and flashing musical lights at work for the past two weeks my holiday timing is just off.

So back to the song...I always thought Jimmy Soul sang "get a lovely girl to marry you", but alas his lyrics are so much more funny and true. Too bad this original version is not on Itunes.

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

(skipping a verse...)

An ug-a-ly woman cooks meals on time
And she'll always give you peace of mind
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

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

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

[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!
