You're the reason I'm ridin' round on recapped tyres
And you're the reason I'm a hangin' our clothes outside on walls
You're the reason our kids are ugly little darling
Ah but looks ain't everything and money ain't everything
But I love you just the same

You're the reason I 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 darling
Ah but looks ain't everything and money ain't everything
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 my good looks and my figure's gone
And that's the reason I ain't got no hair to comb
And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darling
Ah but looks ain't everything and money ain't everything
But I love you just the same

Conway why in the devil don't you gon'
And shave an' put on a clean pair of pants
Loretta look at yourself
I wish you'd take them curlers out of your hair
And go put on a little bit of make up
And get out of the housecoat before supper
Ha well let me tell you somethin' Conway
Considerin' everything I went through today
I look like a movie star
Yeah Ruth Cassidy
Thank you
Besides that
All of our kids took after your part of our family anyway
Oh they did huh what about the one's that's bald
Well I guess you might say they took after me
