The Ugly Duckling
Lyricist:Frank Loesser
There once was an ugly duckling With feathers all stubby and brown And the other birds in so many words said Get out of town, get out, get out, get out of town
And he went with a quack And a waddle and a quack In a flurry of eiderdown
That poor little ugly duckling Went wandering far and near And at every place they said to his face Now get out of here, get out, get out, get out of here
And he went with a quack And a waddle and a quack And a very unhappy tear
All through the wintertime he hid himself away Ashamed to show his face, afraid of what others might say All through the winter in his lonely clump of wheat Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Till a flock of swans spied him there and very soon agreed
You're a very fine swan indeed Swan? Me, a swan? Go on, you're a swan Take a look at yourself in the lake and you'll see And he looked and he saw and he said It's me, I am a swan, whee
I'm not such an ugly duckling No feathers all stubby and brown For in fact these birds in so many words said The best in town, the best, the best, the best in town
Not a quack, not a quack Not a waddle or a quack But a glide and a whistle And a snowy white back
And a head so noble and high Say, 'Who's an ugly duckling?' Not I
