The Ugly Duckling

The Ugly Duckling - Songs For Kids

There once was an ugly duckling

With feathers all stubby and brown

And the other birds in so many words

Said quack get out of town

Quack get out

Quack quack get out

Quack quack 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

But at every place they said to his face

Quack get out of here

Quack get out

Quack quack get out

Quack quack 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

Till a flock of swans spied him there

And very soon agreed

You're a very fine swan indeed

Who me

A swan

And he looked

And he saw

And he said

I'm not such an ugly duckling

No feathers all stubby and brown

For in fact these birds in so many words

Said quite the best in town

Quite the best

Quite quite the best

Quite quite 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
