Singing Ugly Bug Ball With Burl Ives

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! He said. I looked around, my face quite red. Who was talking? I looked around. “Down here, Woman! I’m on the ground.” This crazy looking brown beetle was talking to me? I tried to find something else, but it was definitely he. I am Burl Ives, he told me. And I’m looking for the ball. I started to snicker now, but that is not all. “The ugly bug ball?” I asked with delight. He kicked my toe with a force that gave me a fright. You pack a punch! I say, surprised beyond belief. He hit me again, and I thought “Good grief!” I know you know the song, he said. So sing it and I mean now. I remembered about half the words, but I did not want another pow. So I began to sing “The Ugly Bug Ball.” It seemed to satisfy this bug so small. We sang it together, and I let him move in. We are very happy so it was a win.
