Song for an Ugly Lady
- Ugly lady, you've complained
- that I never sing your praise,
- so I've composed a new refrain
- to sing your praise in my own way,
- and this is what my song exclaims:
- you're a crazy, old and ugly lady!
- Ugly lady, since your desire
- is that I praise you in my rhymes,
- God forgive me, I will try
- to sing your praise in my own way,
- and this is what my song will cry:
- you're a crazy, old and ugly lady!
- Ugly lady, though I've sung
- of all my loves, I never sang
- a song for you, so now I'll sing,
- singing your praise in my own way,
- and this is what my song will say:
- you're a crazy, old and ugly lady!
