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 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)
And a happy time we'll have there
One and all
At the Ugly Bug Ball

While the crickets chirped their crickey 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
Every little crawly 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)
And a happy time we'll have there
One and all
At 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

Then our caterpillar saw a pretty queen
She was beautiful and yellow, black and green
He said, "Would you care to dance?"
Their dancing led to romance
Then she sat upon his caterpillar knee
And he gave his caterpillar queen a squeeze
So they honeymooned, built 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
