(Capo on first fret)
[Verse 1]
G D7
Once a lonely caterpillar sat and cried
G
To a sympathetic beetle by his side
D7
I've got nobody to hug
G
I'm such an ug-i-ly bug
G D7
Then a spider and a dragonfly replied
G Em
If you're serious and want to win a bride
G
Come along with us,
D7 G
to the glorious annual ugly bug ball
[Chorus]
G C
Come on let's crawl
(gotta crawl gotta crawl)
G
To the ugly bug ball
(to the ball to the ball)
C
And a happy time we'll have there,
D G C G
one and all and the ugly bug ball
[Verse 2]
G D7
While the crickets click
their cricky melodies
G
All the ants were fancy dancing
with the fleas
D7
Then up from under the ground
G
The worms came squirming around
G D7
Oh they danced until their legs
were nearly lame
G
Every little crawling creature
Em
you could name
G
Everyone was glad,
what a time they had
D7 G
They were so happy they came
[Chorus]
G C
Come on let's crawl
(gotta crawl gotta crawl)
G
To the ugly bug ball
(to the ball to the ball)
C
And a happy time we'll have there,
D G C G
one and all and the ugly bug ball
[Verse 3]
G D7
Then our caterpillar
saw a pretty queen
G
She was beautiful and
yellow black and green
D7
He said would you care to dance
G
Their dancing lead to romance
G D7
Then she sat upon his caterpillar knee
G Em
And he gave his caterpillar queen a squeeze
G
Soon they'll honeymoon, build a big cocoon
D7 G
Thanks to the ugly bug ball
[Chorus]
G C
Come on let's crawl
(gotta crawl gotta crawl)
G
To the ugly bug ball
(to the ball to the ball)
C
And a happy time we'll have there,
D G C G
one and all and the ugly bug ball
