Isn't It a Pity?

[Intro/Excerpted Voice]

I lost it when you came along, he's quite a man!

No saint of course, but you must have suspected that before you married him

Maybe even that was why you married him...

[Verse 1]

I'm a kind of hybrid of a cartoon and a feature

Some have sought me lovely, others saw an ugly creature

Some have sought me right on time and others found me tired

And I couldn't count the times that my backside has been admired

[Pre-Chorus]

Beauty is glitter in my eyes

I really wanted roses but you sent me custard pies

[Chorus]

Isn't it a pity that I'm not the prettiest girl in the world?

But sometimes I feel when I Kick up my heels in the sun

I'm the loveliest one

Isn't it a pity that I'm not the prettiest girl in the world?

But sometimes I feel when I Kick up my heels in the sun

I'm the loveliest one!

[Verse 2]

I'm a kind of cross between a pupil and a teacher

Some have found me lovely, others saw an ugly creature

I have found my image has obscured all that I am

But who said you can't mix vinegar with jam?

[Pre-Chorus]

Beauty is glitter in my eyes

I really wanted roses but you sent me custard pies

(Ah..)

[Chorus]

Isn't it a pity that I'm not the prettiest girl in the world?

But sometimes I feel when I Kick up my heels in the sun

I'm the loveliest one

Isn't it a pity that I'm not the prettiest girl in the world?

But sometimes I feel when I Kick up my heels in the sun

I'm the loveliest one!

Isn't it a pity?

[Bridge]

The London image makers

Faces made for mirror breakage

And no, their magazines

Can not affect my self esteem

Beauty...

(Ow!)

[Verse 3]

I'm a kind of hybrid of a cartoon and a feature

Some have sought me lovely, others saw an ugly creature

Some have sought me right at times and others found me tired

And I couldn't count the times that my backside has been admired

[Pre-Chorus]

Beauty is glitter in my eyes

I really wanted roses but you sent me custard pies

[Chorus]

Isn't it a pity that I'm not the prettiest girl in the world?

But sometimes I feel when I Kick up my heels in the sun

I'm the loveliest one

Isn't it a pity that I'm not the prettiest girl in the world?

But sometimes I feel when I Kick up my heels in the sun

I'm the loveliest one!
