The Ugly Duckling（丑小鸭）

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  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    

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    

Ah  it's  me  I  am  a  swan  wheeeee    

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
