Ugly Bug Ball (from Summer Magic)

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!
