Advice of which I am reminded while watching "Mundo de Fieras"
ALWAYS MARRY A WOMAN UGLIER THAN YOU
(Traditional Calypso song)
If you want to be happy, live a king's life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
All you’ve got to do is just what I say
Then you'll be happy, merry and gay
And from a logical point of view
Marry a woman uglier than you
A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often cause his downfall
As soon as she’s married, an affair she start
To do all those things that will break your heart
And when you think she’s belonging to you
She's calling somebody else to do
So from a logical point of view
Marry a woman uglier than you
If you want to live a long and happy life
Avoiding consternation and marital strife
For a logical man this is easy to do
When you marry a woman uglier than you
But if you make an ugly woman your wife
You’ll be so happy all of your life
She wouldn’t do things in a funny way
Just to give the neighbours something to say
She wouldn't disregard her husband at all
By exhibiting herself to Peter and Paul
So, from a logical point of view
Marry a woman uglier than you
If you want to live a long and happy life
Avoiding consternation and marital strife
For a logical man this is easy to do
Just marry a woman
Marry a woman
Uglier than you
(Traditional Calypso song)
If you want to be happy, live a king's life

Then you'll be happy, merry and gay

Perfect. (Time warp alert!) I never did hear or know all the words to that, so thanks for sharing and for the walk down memory lane!
I couldn't quite remember the tune to this so I poked around the internet for a reminder and discovered that Robert Mitchum released a calypso album in 1957! What the...??? It includes this song under a different name. I don't know if he's any good but the cover is great, a sultry-eyed Mitchum drinking a glass of rum and a babe in a red strapless cocktail dress, arms akimbo, standing behind him.
