Lyrics Mama Look At Bubu - Harry Belafonte
I
wonder
why
nobody
don't
like
me
Or
is
it
the
fact
that
I'm
ugly?
I
wonder
why
nobody
don't
like
me
Or
is
it
the
fact
that
I'm
ugly?
I
leave
my
whole
house
and
home
My
children
don't
want
me
no
more
Bad
talk
inside
de
house
dey
bring
And
when
I
talk
they
start
to
sing
"Mama,
look
at
bubu"
they
shout
Their
mother
tell
them
"shut
up
your
mout'
"
"That
is
your
daddy",
"oh,
no"
"My
daddy
can't
be
ugly
so"
"Shut
your
mout'
" "Go
away"
"Mama,
look
at
bubu"
dey
(ooh)
"Shut
your
mout'
" "Go
away"
"Mama,
look
at
bubu"
dey
I
couldn't
even
digest
me
supper
Due
to
thee
children's
behavior
John
("Yes,
pa")-"come
here
a
moment"
"Bring
de
belt,
you're
much
too
impudent"
John
says
it's
James
who
started
first
James
tells
thee
story
in
reverse
I
drag
my
belt
from
off
me
waist
You
should
hear
dem
screamin'
round
de
place
"Mama,
look
at
bubu"
they
shout
Their
mother
tell
them
"shut
up
your
mout'
"
"That
is
your
daddy",
"oh,

"My
daddy
can't
be
