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
