[Bb] [Eb]
[Fm] There once was an [Eb] ugly [E] duckling, [Fm] with [Ab] feathers all [Eb] stubby and brown, [Bb] and the [E] other bird [G] in so many words said,
Get out [Cm] of [Bbm] town, [Abm] get out, [Eb]
get [Cm] out, [Bb] get [Eb] out of town, and he [F] went with the quack and the waddle and the quack in a flurry either [Eb] down.
[Ab]
[Eb] [Fm] That poor little [Eb]
ugly [Em] duckling [Fm] went wandering [Eb] far and near, [Cm] but at every place they [Db] said [G] to his face,
[Abm] Now, [G] get out [Cm] of [Bbm] here, [Fm] [Abm] get out, [Eb] get out, get out of here, [Ab] and he went with the quack [Fm] and the waddle [Cm] and the quack in a [Eb] very unhappy tear.

[Eb] [Fm]
[Gm] [Eb] [Bb]
All through [Fm] the [Bb] wintertime he hid himself [Fm] away, ashamed to show his face, [Bb] [Ab] afraid of [Db] what others might [Cm] say.
[Bb]
All through the winter in his lonely clump of [F] weed, [Bb] till a flock of swans spied him there [Bbm] and very [Bb] soon agreed,
You're a very fine swan indeed.
[B]
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 [G] and he saw and he said, I [Ab]
am a swan.
[E]
[Fm] I'm not [E] such an ugly duckling, [Cm] no feathers all stuffy [Eb] and [E] brown, [Fm] for in fact these birds [Eb] in so many words [Ab] it's [G] the best [Cm] in [Eb] town.
[Ab] The best, [Eb]
the best, [Fm] [Gm] the best [Eb] in town.
[Ab] Not a quack, [Eb] not a quack, [Abm] not a waddle [Eb] or a quack, [Ab] but a glide and [Eb] a whistle and [F] a snowy white [Bb] bag, [Eb] and a head [Fm] sewn [Bb] over and [Eb] a [D] [A] half.
