G (320003@1)    D7Once (xx0212@1)a lonely caterpillar sat and cried
     GTo (320003@1)a sympathetic beetle by his side
           D7I've (xx0212@1)got nobody to hug
            GI'm (320003@1)such an ug-i-ly bug
G (320003@1)    D7Then (xx0212@1)a spider and a dragonfly replied
          G (320003@1)                       EmIf (022000@1)you're serious and want to win a bride
                   G (320003@1)              D7 (xx0212@1)            GCome (320003@1)along with us, to the glorious annual ugly bug ball

G (320003@1)       D7While (xx0212@1)the crickets click their cricky melodies
        G (320003@1)All the ants were fancy dancing with the fleas
             D7Then (xx0212@1)up from under the ground
               G (320003@1)The worms came squirming around
G (320003@1)     D7Oh (xx0212@1)they danced until their legs were nearly lame
      G (320003@1)                                EmEvery (022000@1)little crawling creature you could name
                   GEveryone (320003@1)was glad,   What a time they had
D7 (xx0212@1)                    GThey (320003@1)were so happy they came

CHORUS

G (320003@1)      D7Then (xx0212@1)our caterpillar saw a pretty queen
        G (320003@1)She was beautiful and yellow black and green
              D7He (xx0212@1)said would you care to dance
              G (320003@1)   
Their dancing lead to romance
G (320003@1)      D7Then (xx0212@1)she sat upon his caterpillar knee
       G (320003@1)                          EmAnd (022000@1)he gave his caterpillar queen a squeeze
                       GSoon (320003@1)they'll honeymoon,  Build a big cocoon
D7 (xx0212@1)                   G (320003@1)Thanks to the ugly bug ball
