Verse
C G7
Once a lonely caterpillar sat and cried
C
To a sympathetic beetle by his side
G7
I've got nobody to hug
C
I'm such an ug-i-ly bug
C G7
Then a spider and a dragonfly replied
C Am
If you're serious and want to win a bride
C G7 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 G7
While the crickets click their cricky melodies
C
All the ants were fancy dancing with the fleas
G7
Then up from under the ground
C
The worms came squirming around
C G7
Oh they danced until their legs were nearly lame
C Am
Every little crawling creature you could name
C
Everyone was glad, what a time they had
G7 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 G7
Then our caterpillar saw a pretty queen
C
She was beautiful and yellow black and green
G7
He said would you care to dance
C
Their dancing lead to romance
C G7
Then she sat upon his caterpillar knee
C Am
And he gave his caterpillar queen a squeeze
C
Soon they'll honeymoon, build a big cocoon
G7 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
