I'm a Swan

There once was an ugly duckling
With feathers all stubby and brown
And the other birds in so many words said
Get out of town, get out, get out, get out of town

That poor little ugly duckling
Went wandering far and near
And at every place they said to his face
Now get out of here, get out, get out, get out of here

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 wheat
Till a flock of swans spied him there and very soon agreed

Youre a very fine swan indeed
Swan? Me, a swan? Go on, you’re a swan
Take a look at yourself in the lake and you’ll see
And he looked and he saw and he said
It’s me, I am a swan, whee
