Sing a Song
The Life of a Butterfly
Here’s a song you can sing about a butterfly. Tune: Skip To My Lou
I'm a caterpillar, wiggle with me,
 I'm a caterpillar, wiggle with me,
 I'm a caterpillar, wiggle with me,
 What'll I be, my darlin'?
 
 Z Z Z Z Z
 A chrysalis, now sleep like me,
 A chrysalis, now sleep like me,
 A chrysalis, now sleep like me,
 What'll I be, my darlin'?
 
 A butterfly, come fly with me,
 A butterfly, come fly with me,
 A butterfly, come fly with me,
 What'll I be, my darlin'?
 
 Now all together, let's do all 3 three.
 
 A caterpillar, a chrysalis,
 A butterfly - three.
 Move your body like this with me.
 The life of a butterfly, darlin'.
