Sammy Davis Jr. used to sing this. His version started out:
Now when I was just a baby, they used to say "How cute!"
Even when I was seven or eight, they said this boy's a beaut!
Well, I went back home the other day. To see that old gang of mine.
I asked them what they thought of me and they put it on the line,
they told me: "You're ugly! You some ugly child!"
The clothes that you wear are out of style
You look like a fool every time you smile
How we hate you, you alligator bait you
why don't you lay down and die?
You're knock-kneed, bow legged, boxed backed, too!
There's a curse on your family and it fell on you!
Your hair is nappy, Who's your Pappy?
You some ugly child!
Then Sammy would add...
But I don't care! 'Cause I make a lot of money!
