Oh my ugly duckling, nobody loves you

Daddy said he'd buy you some ballet shoes

But he spent all he had on hash

And avoiding another crash

Now who will look after you



One night your shoulders will ache

But next day when you wake

You'll sprout wild wings, and fly

Just like in Swan Lake



Oh you helpless birdlings, nobody wants you

How will you ever survive out of the nest

And the wolf will put his nose in

And the water is so frozen

You'll have to swim like all the rest
