Once a lonely caterpillar sat and cried,
to a sympathetic beetle by his side.
I've got nobody to hug,
I'm such an ugly bug.
Then a spider and a dragonfly replied,
if you're serious and want to win a bride,
Come along with us, to the glorious
Annual Ugly Bug Ball
Come on let s crawl
(gotta crawl, gotta crawl)
to the Ugly Bug Ball
(to the ball, to the ball)
& a happy time we'll have there!
One & all at the Ugly Bug Ball.
While the crickets clicked their tricky melody
All the ants were fancy dancing with the fleas,
Then up from under the ground,
the worms came squirming around.
Oh, they danced until their legs were nearly lame,
Every little crawling creature you could name.
Everyone was glad, what a time they had,
They were so happy they came!
Come on let's crawl
(gotta crawl, gotta crawl)
to the Ugly Bug Ball
(to the ball, to the ball)
& a happy time we'll have there!
One & all at the Ugly Bug Ball.
Then our caterpillar saw a pretty queen,
She was beautiful, in yellow black and green.
He said would you care to dance?
Their dancing led to romance,
Then she sat upon his caterpillar knees,
And he gave his caterpillar queen a squeeze.
Soon they'll honeymoon, build a big cocoon,
Thanks to the Ugly Bug Ball!
Come on let's crawl
(gotta crawl, gotta crawl)
to the Ugly Bug Ball
(to the ball, to the ball)
& a happy time we'll have there!
One & all at the Ugly Bug Ball.
