A Little Bit Ugly Lyrics
When it starts to kick in, I start to kick it out.
When it comes a'calling, more and more each day.
And a little bit ugly now, is what it's got to say.
Little bit ugly now.
Little bit ugly now.
Little bit ugly now.
Who? What? When? How?
Little bit ugly now.
Little bit ugly now.
Little bit ugly now.
Right now! Right now!
Little bit ugly now.
Little bit ugly 'cause the time is right.
Little bit ugly now.
Little bit ugly now tonight.
When it comes a'knockin, outside my door.
Well, I let it in, 'cause it's been there before.
Let's let it in!
It comes a'knockin', more and more each day.
And a little bit ugly is what it's got to say.
When it comes around here, it's really nothing new.
Get a little bit ugly, is what it's telling me to do.
When I'm a little bit ugly it's my kind of feeling.
I'm drunk and I'm blind.
When it comes a'calling, more and more each day.
And a little bit ugly now, is what it's got to say.
Little bit ugly now.
Little bit ugly now.
Little bit ugly now.
Who? What? When? How?
Little bit ugly now.
Little bit ugly now.
Little bit ugly now.
Right now! Right now!
Little bit ugly now.
Little bit ugly 'cause the time is right.
Little bit ugly now.
Little bit ugly now tonight.
When it comes a'knockin, outside my door.
Well, I let it in, 'cause it's been there before.
Let's let it in!
It comes a'knockin', more and more each day.
And a little bit ugly is what it's got to say.
When it comes around here, it's really nothing new.
Get a little bit ugly, is what it's telling me to do.
When I'm a little bit ugly it's my kind of feeling.
I'm drunk and I'm blind.

This song is great, I think its about getting drunk
Bosstones to me don't write ska songs. They write drinking songs. And really really good ones. This song is great, and such an unpredictable way to end an album.

i could play this album on repeat for hours while i'm drinking with friends. definitely an awesome way to end it.
I love the beginning of the song the most.
"I can't help it if I was- if I wasn't born with a cool name like Dicky!"
Great way to end a great album
This song is loosely based on "Come a Little Bit Closer" by Jay and the Americans. If you listen to them, you hear the similarities. Dicky has mentioned in interviews that he and the other members of the band (but Dicky especially), are fans of old music (like Jay and the Americans). So they would, from time to time, throw in references to those songs, or even do melody sections that called back to those old songs. Another example is is 737 Shoe Glue references/calls back to "Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head" by Burt Bacharach and BJ Thomas.
