Isn’t It a Pity?

Lyrics

[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!
