The Ugly Truth (UglyDolls)

"The Ugly Truth" is the fourth of eleven original songs featured in UglyDolls. It serves as the film's main villain song, sung by Lou, and also three male Perfect Dolls as background singers, as he explains that only the dolls he considers perfect enough for his rigorous standards can attend the Institute of Perfection (through which they can go to the Big World), while the ones he deems ugly, including Moxy and her friends he spots in the crowd, have no possible future there.

Film version


I know you hope to go to the big you-know-where And you're here to try to earn your ticket there Better listen now or you haven't got a prayer Let me break it down, ooh If you want someone to love ya Babe, you gotta look like me (Like me) Gotta be flawless, pure perfection, not for shelf (For shelf) And my first impression of ya, as far as I can see (Can see) Is you simply can't compete with my sweet self (Your sweet self) Is your hair as thick as mine? (No) Are your arms as pumped as mine? (No) Are the moves you got as drop-dead hot as this? (No, no, they ain't) Is your profile half this fine? (No) If not, let me hit you with the bottom line Got to measure up or you won't get eternal bliss (Ooh) So let me be honest (Oh yeah) I got to be honest (Oh yaeh) I'm gonna be honest (Oh yeah) Whether you like it or not You're much too short (Too short) You're way too thin (Too thin) Is that a blemish on your double chin? (Oh man) Don't ever walk a runway (No) Or man a kissing booth (Mwah) You're U-G-L-Y (Ugly) And that's the ugly truth Now perhaps I've just upset ya But people, let's get real (Get real) It's the most exclusive club that you want in (Want in) There's a price to pay, you bet ya Hey, you gotta look ideal (Ideal) Or you'll end up in the old recycling bin (Recycling bin) Is your smile as white as this? (No) Are your glutes as tight as this? (No) Then they'll trash it and they'll mash it into glue (Ooh, poor poor you) Just a flaw as slight as this Just one tiny detail, it's a big ol' mess Oops, oh well, I'm sorry, sayonara, too-da-loo (Ooh)
 * -|Lyrics=

But hey, I can help ya (Oh yeah) Well, possibly help ya (Oh yeah) Well, hopefully help ya (Oh yeah) But most of you, probably not Your head's too small (Too small) Your neck's too long (Too long) Your nose starts right but then ends up all wrong (So wrong) Mmm, that tiny freckle (Ugh) Ooh, that crooked tooth You're U-G-L-Y (Ugly) And that's the ugly truth (U-G-L-Y, face like that, why even try?) (U-G-L-Y, back that hip like triple fry) (U-G-L-Y, sorry if that makes you cry) (You're ugly, so ugly, so-) Wait! Look at you, look at you, look at you I ain't seen nothing like you before I mean, words fail me, I mean I'm tongue-tied I mean I'm speechless, baby What's a thing like you doing in a place like this? I gotta tell ya, girl, you're pretty... (Pretty ugly)

You poor, poor things (Come on) Don't look so sad (Come on) I'm sorry you're so ugly "Is that..." "Real bad" (Come one)

Imagine that you traumatize Some unsuspecting youth Why, it would be U-G-L-Y (Ugly) And that's the ugly truth Yeah, so sorry, that's the truth Woo, that's just the ugly truth Yeah, you're U-G-L-Y

"I really do feel bad for you, but kids just don't want ugly. So, I'm not sure where you belong, but it's not here"

And that's the ugly truth

Ужасно искаш да си в голям хубав свят? И оттук нататък няма път назад! Но я сега ме чуй, че направо става ад! Ще те светна аз! Ууу!
 * -|Lyrics=

(Гледай, това е той!) (Скочи при мен, Лу!) (Обичаме те!)

Туп-туп-туп-туп! Щом любов си пожелаеш, може да си като мен. Да си чисто съвършенство феномен, а пък аз, като ви гледам, ще бъда откровен. Няма как да има други с моя ген! Като мен ли си красив? (Не!) Със дупе експлозив или можеш да танцуваш като в транс? (Не, няма как!) Снимаш профил на модел? Така, вече имаш своя трудна цел: "Трябва мен да слушаш или губиш своя шанс!"

Дали да ви кажа? Държа да ви кажа! Добре, ще ви кажа все едно как звучи:

Какъв корем! Носът орел! С брадичка! Подът, кой ли е помел? (О, не!) Не ставаш за картина! (Не!) Не ставаш за ревю! (Муа!) За мен си Г-Р-О-З-Е-Н! (Грозен!) И правиш грозен шум.

Хм! Може би сега си смазан, но първо помисли: "С мен в лукозен клуб желаеш да си тук, но цената е висока..." Хей, това го запомни! Или просто ще си в коша за боклук? Но с мен може да стане... Е, трябва да стане! Ще се молим да стане, но повечето ще сте аут!

Глава цял тон. (Цял тон!) Уши на слон. (На слон!) Носът прилича на издут балон. (Па к'во?) Хм, видях луничка! (Ъ!) Уу, не си бижу! За мен си Г-Р-О-З-Е-Н! (Да!) И правиш грозен шум. (Да!) (Ти съкрушен, мейт!) Момент! (Ожени се за мен, Лу!)

Кой е тук, кой е тук, кой е тук? Ти си направо, не знам какво... Аз съм без думи. Аз съм... Ъ, без глас! Аз съм... Ъ, в шок съм, бейби! Чудя се: "Защо си тук?" Защо си тук при нас? За теб мога да кажа само: "Супер!" (Супер грозна!)

Горкото, моля те! Недей, дете! Съчувствам ти дълбоко. (Значи? Ъ!) Много зле! Децата, щом те видят ще изпитат рязък смут, защото си Г-Р-О-З-Е-Н! (Грозен!) И правиш грозен шум. (Yeah!) И правиш грозен шум. (Wo!) Ти правиш грозен шум. Ти си Г-Р-О-З-Е-Н!

Наистина ми е мъчно за вас, но децата наистина не искат грозота. Затова не съм сигурен къде ви е мястото? Но обаче не е тук!

И правиш грозен шум!

Je sais t'espère aller au grand tu sais quoi T'es la pour enfin gagner ton passe droit Alors écoute moi ou t'aura pas la moindre chance Laisse moi t'expliquer

(OUUUUUH)

Tu veux que tout le monde t'aime Mais tu doit me ressembler Je te parle d'une perfection de très grande classe (très grande classe)

L'impression que tu me fait dès le premier regard C'est que tu ne sera jamais aussi parfait que moi (jamaiiiis)

Ta de beau cheveux comme moi ? (NON) Des bras aussi fort que ça ? (NON) Est ce que t'es mouvements sont aussi cool que ça ? (Non pas comme ça)

Ton profil est aussi beau ? (NON) Sinon laisse me te répéter ces mots Faut que tu sois à ma hauteur sinon tu reste un loser

J'ai envie d'être honnête Je dois rester honnête Et je vais être honnête QUE ÇA TE PLAISE OU PAS

T'es bien trop petit (trop petite) T'es bien trop maigre (trop maigre) Ta un bouton sous ton double menton

Tu ne sera jamais un mannequin Ni la reine des bisous T'es U - G - L - Y (moche) C'est l'affreuse vérité

Je t'ai peut être blessé mais soyons réaliste C'est le club le plus select que tu convoite

Et il y a un gros prix à payer Et tu doit être à la page Ou tu finira dans le bac de recyclage

Je peux vous aidez Peut être bien que je peux vous aidez J'espère bien pouvoir vous aidez MAIS PROBABLEMENT PAS

Ta tête est trop petite (trop petite) Ton cou trop long (trop long) Ton nez à la forme d'un tire bouchon (bouchon) Mmh cette affreux grain de beauté C'est dans l'égard des.. Des U - G - L - Y (moche)

C'est l'affreuse vérité (U - G - L - Y) ( ta l'air d'un épouvantail) (tu est moche) (trop moche)

ATTENDEZ

(épouse moi lou)

Regardez vous, regardez vous, regardez vous Jamais vue un truc comme vous avant Au mais les mot me manque Non mais J'en suis bouche bée Non mais j'en suis ému bébé

Qu'est-ce qu'une chose comme toi Fait dans un monde comme ça Je dois dire fillette que t'es.. Supeeeeeeeeeer

(SUPER MOCHE)

Pauvre petite chose N'es pas l'air si pitoyable Désolé que tu soit si moche (est ce que c'est-) Effroyable

Imagine l'affreux traumatisme D'un enfant sans méfiance Sa serait U - G - L - Y (moche) C'est l'affreuse vérité Ouh Yeahhh L'affreuse vérité C'est ça la vérité Ouuuuuh Oui t'es U - G - L - Y

Je suis franchement désolé pour vous Mais les enfants ne veulent pas de jouet moche Alors.. Je ne sais pas où est votre place Mais elle n'est certainement pas ici

Et c'est la triste vérité

OUUUUUH

La su vorresti andare Nel grande tu sai che E sei qui perché vuoi meritano te Senti bene o tu non ce la farai mai Se mi bene qua

Se vuoi che qualcuno ti ami Devi somigliare a me Senza pecche, puro e basta Roba tosta E la mia prima impressione Da ciò che vedo in te È che non c'è proprio gara tra te e me

Hai capelli come me? Braccia forti come me? - Hai dei passionale sexy come i miei? - No! proprio no! Hai un profilo come il mio? Ahora senti bene cosa dico a te Datti una svegliata 0 benedetto non sarai Vaglia essere onesta Devo essere onesta

Sarò proprio onesto Ti potrà piacere o no

Sei basso assai Sei magro, sai Un brufolo sul doppio mento hai Non sei da passerella Non ti vorranno più - sei U-G-L-Y - Ugly! Che brutto che sei tu

Ora ti avrà un po' sconvolta Ma guarda la realtà È in un club più che esclusivo che vuoi entrare Puoi scommetterci, c'è un prezzo Ehi, perfetto o non si fa E purtroppo ti dovranno riciclare

Ma posso aiutarvi Beh, forse aiutarvi Spero di aiutarvi Molti di voi proprio no!

- che testa, no! - È un no! - che colla, è un no! - E un no! - Il naso è ok finché finisce K0 - K0! Quella Ientiggine... Quel dente storto Sei U-G-L-Y - Ugly! - che brutto che sei!

Scusa se fa piangere Sei ugiy! Sei ugly! - Fermi! - Sposami, Lou!

Guarda un po', guarda un po' Guarda un po' Mai visto niente così prima d'ora Non ci sono parole La lingua non va Sono stordito, baby che ci fa quassù una cosa come te? lo devo dirtelo, sei... Proprio... Proprio ugly!

- 0h, poverina! - Ma dai! - Sei triste, sai? - Ma dai. - Mi spiace ma sei brutta - È così... Male assai

E puoi traumatizzare Un bimbo che non sa - Sarebbe proprio brutto - U-G-L-Y, ugly! Che brutta verità che brutta che sei tu Che brutta verità SÌ, sei U-G-L-Y

Mi dispiace tanto per voi, ma i bambini non voglio il brutto. Perciò non so qual è il vostro posto, ma certo non è qui.

Perché sei brutta tu!

Sé que desean ir al “Gran ya-saben-cual” Que ya se ven cruzando el portal Pongan atención porque les podría ir mal ¡Les voy a explicar!

Si deseas amor, es obvio, debes parecerte a mí (¡A mí!) Sin defectos, muy perfecto, lo mejor (Lo mejor) A primera vista en serio, lo veo por aquí (¡Aquí!) Que no hay competencia con este primor ¿Eres guapo como yo? ¿Eres tierno como yo? ¿Tienes pasos impactantes como yo? ¿Tienes este gran perfil? Si no, lo que digo no será sutil No hay futuro para los que no son como yo Voy a ser honesto, yo soy muy honesto, seré muy honesto ¡Sea que les guste o no!

Que bajo es él, que flaco estás En tu papada un grano allí está Jamás serás modelo o te querrán besar ¡Eres un grotesco lastre y… feo! La fea verdad es

Aunque pueda perturbarlos, acepten la verdad Es un club muy exclusivo para entrar Deberán pagar el precio, hay que ser una beldad O al cubo de basura irán a dar Más puedo ayudarlos, tal vez ayudarlos, podría ayudarlos A muchos yo creo que no

Que mala tez, nariz fatal, un ojo está muy bien y el otro mal Mmm… Es una peca ¡Uh! Boca desigual ¡Eres un grotesco lastre y… feo! La fea verdad es ¡Eres un grotesco lastre y feo! Siento oír tu lloriqueo ¡Feo, tan feo, tan- ¡Esperen!

Mírense, Mírense, Mírense, yo no vi un ser como tu jamás Digo que digo, digo no sé qué, y me enmudezco, baby Algo como tú, ¿Qué hace en un sitio así? Diré que eres perfectamente… ¡… Mente fea! Ay, pobrecín, que gran dolor, me apena eres tan fea “¿Y eso es-?” Lo peor Va a traumar a un niño cuando a su lado estés ¡Porque verá un grotesco lastre y… feo!

La fea verdad es Yeah, perdón la verdad es ¡Oh! La fea verdad es ¡Eres un grotesco lastre y… (Si me siento mal por ustedes, pero los niños no quieren a los feos y realmente no se en donde es su lugar, Pero no es aquí) La fea verdad… es

 * Singer: Blas Cantó (Lou)

¡Yo sé que esperas ir al gran ya-sabes-qué! Con tu entrada quieres acceder Te explico como se puede obtener Paso a paso iré

Si tú quieres que te quieran, debes parecerte a mí Me refiero a lo perfecto, a mi nivel Sin embargo me dais pena, por lo que veo aquí No me gustaría resultar muy cruel

El que tiene este tupé (¡No!) Este cuerpo que formé (¡No!) Y bailáis con todo este sex appeal (¡No, eso no!) Es genial vuestro perfil, pues yo tengo que deciros la verdad Hay que mejorar sino jamás váis a llegar

Para ser sincero Debo ser sincero Voy a ser sincero ¡Si os gusta o si no!

¡Bajitos sois! ¡Sin pedigree! ¡Con manchas y una papada si! Jamás seréis modelos Ni os querrán besar Sois F-E-O-S (¡FEOS!) Es la fea verdad

Y quizá os he ofendido, ¡pero esto es lo que hay! Para entrar en este club tan exclusivo Hay un precio convenido ¡Hey, aparentar ser guay O en la basura podéis acabar!

Pero yo os ayudo Quizá os ayudo Con suerte os ayudo ¡A la mayoría no!

¡Que cabezón! ¡Es la cuestión! ¡A tu nariz Le falta mogollón! Hum, esa pequita ahí Un diente así Sois F-E-O-S (¡FEOS!) Es la fea verdad

F-E-O-S (Llora, no hay solución) (Sois feos, tan feos, sois...) ¡Esperad!

Mírate, mírate, mírate No había visto a nadie así Y es que Mudo estoy Y es que No sé Y es que Estoy sin habla

Una cosa como tú Que hace en un sitio así Pienso nena que eres Bastante... (¡Bastante fea!)

Que pena das Que triste estás Y siento que seáis feos {Eso es} Fatal Un trauma le podríais causar A un niño de esa edad Por ser tan F-E-O-S Es la fea verdad Si, lo siento es verdad Es la fea verdad

Si sois F-E-O-S -De verdad que lo siento mucho, pero los niños no quieren cosas feas así que, no sé muy bien cuál es vuestro sitio pero, no es aquí.

¡Y ya lo sabes tú!
