From Pretty Awful to Awful PrettyI was on my first shotWhen she sat down by my stoolActin’ loaded n skanky, feelin’ kinda crankyCos she’d smoked her last KoolI was on my third shotWhen she bummed a Camel LightBug-eyed n bow-legged, I still pictured her nakedBack at my place for the nightShe speed dialed God on a porcelain chocolate phoneWhen she came back I thought of takin’ her homeChorus She went from pretty awful to awful prettyBooze made a sex object from an object of pityShe looked tasty as a hot falafelAs she went from pretty awful to awful prettyI was on my sixth shotAnd-a-starin’ at her chestWith a nose like an aardvark, she was like a cardsharkWho played it close to the chestI’d just slammed my eighth shotShe looked like a Georgia peachEyes as blue as Windex, though her body mass indexWas like a whale on the beachTook her home and none of memories are trueTold myself her appendix scar was a rose tattooChorus Bridge The next night I was back on that stoolToastin’ n boastin’ with a bunch of foolsI was on my fourth shotAnd commitin’ perjurySayin’ she worked her sweater, and if I didn’t know betterI’d swear she’d had surgeryI said I didn’t care if they’re fakeCos they sure gave me a fair shakeChorus©2007 Robert George

Re: From Pretty Awful to Awful Pretty
You know, from a "PC" standpoint, I know I shouldn't be laughing. But this was hysterical.
