YOU TAKE THE PRETTY ONE

I want to go where there's ugly women
Pretty women just don't like me
And the feeling sure is mutual
So give me some plain-Jane

And if you know of a city
Where the women ain't too pretty
Tell me where and I'll be there
'cuz that's my nitty-gritty.

See those two that just walked in?
Would you do me a favor?

Go on, take the pretty one!

That dog is what I savor (woof woof!)

I know you think I'm crazy
But you can have your beauty queens
I just want to drink my beer
And have a girl that I can get near.

I don't want no shallow-Shel
Some doll I have to sell (i'm a lady!)
Give me women who can care
They make for a fine affair

Hey just a minute, I heard that "pigman" stuff

I don't mind no label
I heard you yelling "Sooie!"

so just sit there at your table

Go ahead, take the pretty one
More power to ya!
I bet your sisters are pretty
And to me that's just a pity

(solo)
