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-i-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 and the ugly bug ball While the crickets click their cricky 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 crawling creature you could name Everyone was glad What a time they hade 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 and the ugly bug ball The our caterpillar saw a pretty queen She was beautiful and yellow black and green He said would you care to dance Their dancing lead to romance Then she sat upon his caterpillar knee 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 and the ugly bug ball
