Lyrics The Ugly Bug Ball - Michael Feinstein

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, crawl, crawl
To the ugly bug ball
And a happy time we’ll have, one and all
At the ugly bug ball
While the crickets click their cricky melodies
And the ants were fancy dancing with the fleas
Then up from under the ground
The worms came squirming around
And they danced until their 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
Come on let’s crawl, crawl, crawl
To the ugly bug ball
And a happy time we’ll have, one and all
At the ugly bug ball
Then the caterpillar saw a pretty queen
She was beautiful 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
Soon they’ll honeymoon
Build a big cocoon
Thanks to the ugly bug ball
Come on let’s crawl, crawl, crawl
To the ugly bug ball
And a happy time we’ll have, one and all
At the ugly bug ball
Come on let’s crawl, crawl, crawl
To the ugly bug ball
And a happy time we’ll have, one and all
At the ugly bug ball
