Harry Belafonte and the Coasters both sang "Get An Ugly Girl To Marry You" If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, Never make a pretty woman your wife. So from my personal point of view, Get an ugly girl to marry you. A pretty woman makes her husband look small, And very often causes his downfall. As soon as he marries her, then she starts, To do the things that will break his heart. But if you make an ugly woman your wife, You'll be happy for the rest of your life. An ugly woman cooks meals all the time, She'll always give you peace of mind. Don't let your friends say you have no taste, Go ahead and marry anyway. Her face is ugly, her eyes don't match. Take it from me, she's a better catch. Say, man? Hey baby! I saw your wife the other day. Yeah? Yeah, and she's sure is ugly. Ha! Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook, baby! Yeah, alright. Unfortunately, she has acne. That's a shame, baby. Yeah, baby.

From Calypsoworld.com: "Trinidadian calypsonian Roaring Lion recorded "Ugly Woman" in 1934, during his first trip to New York. It immediately became popular, and Lion continued to record it throughout his career. The calypso offers advice on finding a faithful spouse: "From a logical point of view / Better marry a woman uglier than you." ... "Ugly Woman" became the first calypso to be performed in a movie, when Sir Lancelot sang it in the Hollywood musical Happy Go Lucky (1943). New York-based calypso singers the Duke of Iron and MacBeth the Great further popularized the song during the 1940s. In the early 1950s, the Mighty Charmer (later known as Louis Farrakhan) recorded it, while the pianist Liberace performed it on his television show. Hollywood actor Robert Mitchum included it on his 1957 calypso album. In 1963 the calypso (under the title of "If You Wanna Be Happy") became a number one rhythm and blues hit by Jimmy Soul. Soul's version was written by record producer Frank Guida, who had been stationed in Trinidad during World War II." http://www.calypsoworld.org/noflash/songs-11.htm
