frank loesser - the ugly duckling lyrics

[verse 1]
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

[verse 2]
that poor little ugly duckling
went wandering far and near
but at every place they said to his face now
“+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

[bridge]
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 weed
’til a flock of swans spied him there and very soon agreed
“you’re a very fine swan indeed!”
“swan? me a swan? ah, 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
“why, it’s me! i am a swan! whee!”
[verse 3]
“i’m not such an ugly duckling
no feathers all stubby and brown
for in fact these birds in so many words said
‘+whistle+ the best in town
+whistle+ the best
+whistle whistle+ the best
+whistle whistle+ 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 n0ble and high
“say, who’s an ugly duckling?
not i”

[outro]
not a quack, not a quack
not a waddle or a quack
not an ugly duck
not i
