| You’re the reason I’m a-ridin' around on recapped tires |
| And you’re the reason I’m hangin' our clothes outside on wires |
| And you’re the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin' |
| But looks ain’t evrythin' and money ain’t evrythin' |
| But I love you just the same |
| But you’re the reason I’ve changed to beer from soda pop |
| And you’re the reason I never get to go to the beauty shop |
| You’re the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin' |
| But looks ain’t evrythin' and money ain’t everythin' |
| But I love you just the same |
| I guess that we won’t ever have everything we need |
| 'Cause when we get ahead it’s got another mouth to feed |
| And that’s the reason that my good looks and figure is gone |
| And that’s the reason that I ain’t got no hair to comb |
| And you’re the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin' |
| But looks ain’t evrythin' and money ain’t everythin' |
| But I love you just the same |
| Conway, why in the devil don’t you go |
| And shave and put on a clean pair of pants? |
| But Loretta, look at yourself now I wish you’d take them |
| Curlers out of your hair and go put on a little makeup |
| And get out of that housecoat before supper |
| Well let me tell you something, Conway, |
| Considerin' everythin' that I went through today |
| I look like a movie star yeah, Ruth Buzzie thank you |
| Besides that, all our kids took after your part of the family, anyway |
| Oh they did? What about the ones that’s bald? |
| Well, I guess you could say they take after me |
