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 prize

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

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 and

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 their honeymoon

Built 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
