What's the ugliest
Part of your body?
What's the ugliest
Part of your body?
Some say your nose
Some say your toes
But I think it's your MIND...
I think it's your mind
My darling
I think it's your mind
Oh, the ugliest part of your darling...

The lyrics of "What's The Ugliest Part Of Your Body? (Reprise)" by Frank Zappa revolve around the idea of physical attractiveness and the ugliness of the mind. The repeated question "what's the ugliest part of your body?" is a rhetorical one, as Zappa proceeds to offer various answers ranging from the nose to the toes. However, he eventually arrives at the conclusion that the ugliest part of the body is one's mind. This is a commentary on the superficiality of society's standards of beauty and the importance of inner qualities.
Zappa's lyrics also include the use of the term "my darling," which can be interpreted in a sarcastic sense. It is possible that Zappa is highlighting the tendency for individuals to judge others based on physical appearance rather than their character or intellect. The use of the term "darling" may be seen as an ironic contrast to the negative comments being made about physical features.
Overall, "What's The Ugliest Part Of Your Body? (Reprise)" is a satirical commentary on the nature of physical beauty and the importance of inner qualities such as intellect and character.
