Verse
C# G#7
Once a lonely caterpillar sat and cried
C#
To a sympathetic beetle by his side
G#7
I've got nobody to hug
C#
I'm such an ug-i-ly bug
C# G#7
Then a spider and a dragonfly replied
C# A#m
If you're serious and want to win a bride
C# G#7 C#
Come along with us, to the glorious annual ugly bug ball
[Chorus]
C# F#
Come on let's crawl (gotta crawl gotta crawl)
C#
To the ugly bug ball (to the ball to the ball)
F# G# C# F# C#
And a happy time we'll have there, one and all and the ugly bug ball
[Verse 2]
C# G#7
While the crickets click their cricky melodies
C#
All the ants were fancy dancing with the fleas
G#7
Then up from under the ground
C#
The worms came squirming around
C# G#7
Oh they danced until their legs were nearly lame
C# A#m
Every little crawling creature you could name
C#
Everyone was glad, what a time they had
G#7 C#
They were so happy they came
[Chorus]
C# F#
Come on let's crawl (gotta crawl gotta crawl)
C#
To the ugly bug ball (to the ball to the ball)
F# G# C# F# C#
And a happy time we'll have there, one and all and the ugly bug ball
[Verse 3]
C# G#7
Then our caterpillar saw a pretty queen
C#
She was beautiful and yellow black and green
G#7
He said would you care to dance
C#
Their dancing lead to romance
C# G#7
Then she sat upon his caterpillar knee
C# A#m
And he gave his caterpillar queen a squeeze
C#
Soon they'll honeymoon, build a big cocoon
G#7 C#
Thanks to the ugly bug ball
[Chorus]
C# F#
Come on let's crawl (gotta crawl gotta crawl)
C#
To the ugly bug ball (to the ball to the ball)
F# G# C# F# C#
And a happy time we'll have there, one and all and the ugly bug ball
