A Little Bit Ugly
Embracing Imperfections: A Little Bit Ugly by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Lyrics
I can't help it if I was, hey, if I wasn't born with a cool name like Dicky!
I feel no control over having a less cool name like Dicky.
Alright my name is Dicky Barrett from Boston Massachusetts,
Introducing himself as Dicky Barrett from Boston, Massachusetts.
With me tonight is a warm-hearted human being
Referring to a warm-hearted person with him.
And a cold blooded entertainer. Who is it y'all?
Describing someone as warm-hearted yet cold-blooded as an entertainer.
Hello my name is Jimmy G. and I'm from NYC.
Introducing Jimmy G. from NYC.
Let's bust it Dicky Let's do it holmes
Encouraging Dicky to start the performance.
When it starts to kick in,
Referring to a situation kicking in or beginning.
And I start to kick it out
Expressing energy and enthusiasm as the situation unfolds.
When it comes a-callin'
When a certain moment arrives.
Well I know what its all about, about
Understanding the essence of the situation.
And it comes a-callin'
Repetition of the moment arriving, increasing over time.
More and more each day
Continued repetition of the situation becoming more prevalent.
And a little bit ugly now
Describing the situation as a little bit ugly now.
Is what it's got to say,
Acceptance of the situation being okay.
Well that's ok
Reiteration of the acceptance of the current state.
Little bit ugly now
Repetition emphasizing the current state being a little bit ugly.
Little bit ugly now

-Right now! right now!
-Little bit ugly now
Further emphasis on the situation being a little bit ugly due to the right time.
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
-Because it's been there before
-Let's let it in!
Encouraging acceptance of the situation by letting it in.
And it comes a-knockin', more and more each day
Continued acceptance and acknowledgment of the situation being a little bit ugly.
And a little bit ugly now is what its got to say
-And it comes a-knockin', more and more each day
-And a little bit ugly now is what its got to say
-When it comes around here its really nothin new
