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

Chorus

A pretty woman makes her husband look small,
And very often causes his downfall.
As soon as he marries her, 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 all the time,
She'll always give you peace of mind.

Chorus

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

Chorus

Say, man?
Hey baby!
I saw your wife the other day.
Yeah?
Yeah, and she's sure is ugly. Ha!
Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!
Yeah, alright.
Unfortunately, she has acne.
That's a shame, baby.
Yeah, baby.

I recall it, from the early 1980s, but who performed it?

My dad was singing it today and I did not believe it was a song.

Bet Mr 56 knows

It was some pseudo 50s-style rockers. I could Google it, but that's cheating.

Harry Belafonte and the Coasters both sang "Get An Ugly Girl To Marry You

It was a more recent version than either of those, Buttsie, old boy.

I didn't say cheating got you the right answers

Well, I tried cheating and it didn't work. It was some sub-sub-sub Showaddywaddy type combo.

Sounds like something these Aussie turkeys from the 70s would have covered Ol 55

Meatball and Spud are pretty crap nicknames, but how cool does the late Drainpipe sound?
