 They Promised Me
(OK, this was just written out of fun.)

They Promised Me

They promised me good looks
But they didn't keep their promise
All that they did give me
Is a face that looks like this

I think it's pretty scary
I think it is obscene
The one thing that it's good for
Is it's great for Halloween

I make the children cry
I make the children scream
They call me many names
But I don't think it's mean

Cause if I were a child
And came upon this face
I'd jump out of my shoes
And get out of this place

They promised me good looks
But all I got was this
I'll never find a woman
Who'd give this face a kiss
