Burl Ives - The Ugly Bug Ball Lyrics
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 dragon fly replied,"If you're serious and want to win a bride,come along with us,to the gloriousannual ugly bug ball."Come on let's crawlgotta crawl, gotta crawlto the ugly bug ballto the ball, to the balland a happy time we'll have thereone and allat the ugly bug ballWhile the crickets clicked their tricky melodiesall the ants were fancy-dancing with the fleasthen up from under the groundthe worms came squirming aroundOh they danced until there legs were nearly lameevery little crawling creature you could nameeveryone was gladwhat a time they hadthey were so happy they cameEveryone was glad! What a time they had!they were so happy they came!Come on let's crawlgotta crawl, gotta crawlto the ugly bug ballto the ball, to the balland a happy time we'll have thereone and all!at the ugly bug ball.Then our caterpillar saw a pretty queenshe was beautiful in yellow, black and greenhe said, "Would you care to dance?"their dancing led to romance.and she sat upon his caterpillar kneesand he gave his caterpillar queen a squeezesoon they'll honeymoonbuild a big cocoonthanks to the ugly bug ballCome on let's crawlGotta crawl, gotta crawl,to the ugly bug ballto the ball, to the balland a happy time we'll have thereone and all!at the ugly bug ball!
