There once was a duck and her ducklings,
who went on holiday to Butlins.
Three of the ducklings had lots of fun
playing and jumping in the sun.
But one of them was always sad,
because they told him that he looked bad.
Three had bright feathers and were very sleek,
but one was quite grey with a brownish beak.
The camp had a beauty contest and he sighed in shame.
His brothers laughed because he looked lame.
Little did they know on the day of the show
the ugly duckling was starting to grow.
First his legs and then his wings,
and then all his other fantabulous things.
The three brothers were fairly sure
as they walked through the back stage door,
that one of them would win first prize,
because they were such handsome guys.
All in silence not a single word,
because standing there was not an ugly duckling, but the roly poly bird!
