The Ugly Duckling piano leadsheet with chords
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.
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 by and near.
But at ev'ry place they said to his face "Now,
quack! 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.
That 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,
till the flock of swans spied him there and very soon agreed "You're a very fine swan indeed."
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!
