"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 dragon fly 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 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 there 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 Everyone was glad! What a time they had! 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! 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. And 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!"
