Do You Like To Buzz?
(tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low?)
by Victoria Smith(c) 2000 www.kinderkorner.com


Do you like to buzz,
Are you covered all in fuzz?
Do you call a hive a home
In the Garden where you roam?
Do you know how to make honey,
Are your stripes a little funny?
Do you like to buzz?

Butterflies


Three Caterpillars (Tune: Three Blind Mice)
Three caterpillars, three caterpillars,
See how they crawl, see how they crawl,
They roll up in a chrysalis,
And wait for metamorphosis.
A sight that you won’t want to miss.
Three butterflies. Three butterflies.



The Butterfly Song
(Tune: Up on the Housetop)
by Victoria Smith(c) 2000 www.kinderkorner.com


First comes a butterfly and lays an egg.
Out comes a caterpillar with many legs.
Oh see the caterpillar spin and spin,
A little chrysalis to sleep in.

Oh, oh, oh wait and see!
Oh, oh, oh wait and see!
Out of the chrysalis, my oh my,
Out comes a beautiful butterfly!



The Life of a Butterfly
(Tune: Skip to My Lou)
by Victoria Smith(c) 2000 www.kinderkorner.com


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'?

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 three!
A caterpillar, a chrysalis, a butterfly, three!
Move your body like this with me,
The life of a butterfly, darlin'!
