Verse
D A7
Once a lonely caterpillar sat and cried
D
To a sympathetic beetle by his side
A7
I've got nobody to hug
D
I'm such an ug-i-ly bug
D A7
Then a spider and a dragonfly replied
D Bm
If you're serious and want to win a bride
D A7 D
Come along with us, to the glorious annual ugly bug ball
[Chorus]
D G
Come on let's crawl (gotta crawl gotta crawl)
D
To the ugly bug ball (to the ball to the ball)
G A D G D
And a happy time we'll have there, one and all and the ugly bug ball
[Verse 2]
D A7
While the crickets click their cricky melodies
D
All the ants were fancy dancing with the fleas
A7
Then up from under the ground
D
The worms came squirming around
D A7
Oh they danced until their legs were nearly lame
D Bm
Every little crawling creature you could name
D
Everyone was glad, what a time they had
A7 D
They were so happy they came
[Chorus]
D G
Come on let's crawl (gotta crawl gotta crawl)
D
To the ugly bug ball (to the ball to the ball)
G A D G D
And a happy time we'll have there, one and all and the ugly bug ball
[Verse 3]
D A7
Then our caterpillar saw a pretty queen
D
She was beautiful and yellow black and green
A7
He said would you care to dance
D
Their dancing lead to romance
D A7
Then she sat upon his caterpillar knee
D Bm
And he gave his caterpillar queen a squeeze
D
Soon they'll honeymoon, build a big cocoon
A7 D
Thanks to the ugly bug ball
[Chorus]
D G
Come on let's crawl (gotta crawl gotta crawl)
D
To the ugly bug ball (to the ball to the ball)
G A D G D
And a happy time we'll have there, one and all and the ugly bug ball
