You Get Ugly by The Contours Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1963

[Verse 1]
I met you at the beach one day
The view was out of sight
My buddy said that girl ain't cool
(And boy he sure was right!)

[Chorus]
'Cause you get ugly like a grizzly bear
You get noisy like a county fair
Fight a war like General Lee
Still I want you to marry me!

[Verse 2]
I took you to the dance last night
And you were the wildest gal
But when you drank a sip of gin
(We both wound up in jail!)

[Chorus]
'Cause you get ugly like a grizzly bear
You get noisy like a county fair
Fight a war like General Lee
Still I want you to marry me!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! (yeah, yeah, yeah!)

[Verse 3]
Let me tell you I'm a happy man
We're gonna raise a family
I'm gonna have you all to myself
(Don't nobody want you but me!)

[Chorus]
'Cause you get ugly like a grizzly bear
You get noisy like a county fair
Fight a war like General Lee
Still I want you to marry me!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! (yeah, yeah, yeah!)

[Chorus]
'Cause you get ugly like a grizzly bear
You get noisy like a county fair
Fight a war like General Lee
Still I want you to marry me!
[Outro]
Tell 'em one more time! (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Bring it 'til I'm good now! (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! (yeah, yeah, yeah!)

[Chorus]
'Cause you get ugly like a grizzly bear
You get noisy like a county fair
Fight a war like General Lee
Still I want you to marry me!
