lyrics

Your complexion reminds me
Of cracking plaster
Your face looks like the scene
Of a natural disaster
You reek of the cheapest perfume
That money can buy
But oh, what beautiful eyes

You're so totally lacking
In all the social graces
So well-proportioned
In all the wrong places
A mile of nylon
Wouldn't wrap around those thighs
But oh, what beautiful eyes

How did you get those eyes so dark and deep?
Couldn't have been exercise, must be beauty sleep...
How did you get those eyes like a dream?
It looks like diet of chocolate ice cream

You're a big topic of conversation
Amongst a lot of folks
Your butt has been the butt
Of a lot of jokes
If you were stranded with the last man on earth
He'd have to cry
Till he saw those beautiful eyes

I know some girls
Men like a lot
And everyting they are
You're not
Beauty, grace, style, charm
They got 'em
But they can't measure up
To your eyes or your bottom

So if some other fella
Might try to flatter you
Take my advice
Here's what you do
Tell him straight out
It's all a pack of lies
Till he says
What beautiful eyes
Not your nostrils!
Oh, what beautiful eyes
