Barbra Streisand - If a Girl Isn't Pretty lyrics
[Barbra Streisand - If a Girl Isn't Pretty lyrics]
Fanny, when people pay good money
In the the ay-ter -
Especially the male element -they want
Something to look at!
If a girl isn't pretty
Like a Miss Atlantic City
All she gets in life is pity and a pat
Is a nose with deviation
Such a crime against the nation?
Should I throw her into jail
Or drown the cat?
She must shine in ev'ry detail
Like a ring, you're buying retail
Be a standard size that
Fit's a standard dress
When a girl's incidentals
Are no bigger than two lentils
Then to me, that doesn't spell success
If a girl isn't pretty
Like a Miss Atlantic City
She should dump the stage
And try another route
Any guy who pays a quarter
For a seat just feels he oughter
See a figger that his wife can't substitute
Kid, my heart ain't made of marble
But your rhythm's really horr'ble
And that map of yours just ain't no
Valentine everything you got's about right
But the damn thing don't come out right
So forget it, kid and just resign
If a girl isn't pretty
If a girl isn't pretty
If a girl isn't pretty
If a girl isn't pretty
If a girl isn't pretty she should get a job
Go get a job - get any job
Get a weekly pay
'Cause if a girl isn't pretty
Like a Miss Atlantic City
She's a real Miss Nobody, USA
In the the ay-ter -
Especially the male element -they want
Something to look at!
If a girl isn't pretty
Like a Miss Atlantic City
All she gets in life is pity and a pat
Is a nose with deviation
Such a crime against the nation?
Should I throw her into jail
Or drown the cat?
She must shine in ev'ry detail
Like a ring, you're buying retail
Be a standard size that
Fit's a standard dress
When a girl's incidentals
Are no bigger than two lentils
Then to me, that doesn't spell success
If a girl isn't pretty
Like a Miss Atlantic City
She should dump the stage
And try another route
Any guy who pays a quarter
For a seat just feels he oughter
See a figger that his wife can't substitute
Kid, my heart ain't made of marble
But your rhythm's really horr'ble
And that map of yours just ain't no
Valentine everything you got's about right
But the damn thing don't come out right
So forget it, kid and just resign
If a girl isn't pretty
If a girl isn't pretty
If a girl isn't pretty
If a girl isn't pretty
If a girl isn't pretty she should get a job
Go get a job - get any job
Get a weekly pay
'Cause if a girl isn't pretty
Like a Miss Atlantic City
She's a real Miss Nobody, USA
