The Ugly Bug Ball - From "Summer Magic"

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 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 there 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
 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.
 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.
 And 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!
