The Ugly Bug Ball

Once a lonely caterpillar sat and cried
To a sympathetic beetle by his side

          
"I've got nobody to hug
I'm such an ug-ul-ly 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)
And a happy time we'll have there
One and all
At The Ugly Bug Ball

While the crickets clicked their tricky melodies,
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,
Ev'ry little crawling creature you can name,
              
Ev'ry one 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)
And a happy time we'll have there
One and 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)
And a happy time we'll have there
One and all
At The Ugly Bug Ball
