In 1963, Disney released Summer Magic, starring
Haley Mills and Burl Ives. The Sherman and Sherman song “The
Ugly Bug Ball” has always been one of my Wife’s
favorites.
Once
a lonely caterpillar sat and cried
To a sympathetic beetle by his side
I've got nobody to hug
I'm such an ug-i-ly bug
Then a spider and a dragonfly 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 and the ugly bug
ball
While the crickets click their cricky
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 their legs were nearly lame
Every little crawling creature you could name
Everyone was glad
What a time they hade
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 and the ugly bug
ball
The our caterpillar saw a pretty queen
She was beautiful and yellow black and green
He said would you care to dance
Their dancing lead to romance
Then she sat upon his caterpillar knee
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 and the ugly bug
ball
So, bring your Travel bugs and let them dance the night away at the
Ugly Bug Ball.
Bring a Travel Bug to play at the ball and take one away on it's
way home.
