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   (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 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 had   They were so happy they came!      Come on, let's crawl   To the Ugly Bug 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   Then 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!
