Lyrics for Song: The Ugly Duckling
Lyrics for Album: Selections From Hans Christian Andersen & Other Fa [2006]



There once was an ugly duckling


With feathers all stubby and brown


And the other birds said in so many words





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


But at every place they said to his face


Now 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


Till a flock of swans spied him there and very soon agreed





You're a very fine swan indeed!


A swan? Me a swan? Ah, go on!


And he said yes, 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


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!


Not I!
