(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'?

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'!

(Tune: Itsy Bitsy Spider)

The fuzzy caterpillar

Curled up on a leaf,

Spun her little Chrysalis

And then fell fast a sleep.

While she was sleeping

She dreamed she could fly,

And later when she woke up

She was a butterfly!

Fuzzy little caterpillar

Crawling, crawling, on the ground.

Fuzzy little caterpillar

Nowhere, nowhere to be found.

Though we've looked and looked

And hunted everywhere around!

When the little caterpillar

Found his furry coat too tight,

Then a snug chrysalis he made him

Spun of silk so soft and light.

Rolled himself away within it—

Slept there day and night.

(Tune:Itsy Bitsy Spider)

Creepy Crawly Caterpillar

Looping up and down,

Furry tufts of hair along

Your back of golden brown.

You will soon be wrapped in silk,

Asleep for many a day;

And then , a handsome butterfly,

You'll stretch and fly a way.

by Christina Georgina Rosetti

Brown and furry

Caterpillar in a hurry;

Take you r walk

To the shady leaf or stalk.

May no toad spy you,

May the little birds pass by you;

Spin and die,

To live again a butterfly.

(Tune: Up on the housetop)

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!

(tune: Twinkle twinkle little star)

Butterfly, butterfly fly away,

You were a caterpillar yesterday.

Butterfly, butterfly you never stay,

Ever flying to a new day.

Butterfly, butterfly fly away,

You were a caterpillar yesterday.

(tune: Skip to my lou)

Fly, fly butterfly, fly fly butterfly

Fly, Fly butterfly, fly up in the sky so high.

Flitter, flitter butterfly, flitter, flitter butterfly

Flitter, flitter butterfly flitter and fly up in the sky.

Oh my butterfly, oh my butterfly

Oh my butterflyOh my butterfly, do you always fly so high?

Butterfly, Butterfly, where do you fly?

Where do you go alone?

Is it for flowers and honey you spy?

Have you a home of your own?

What is your name?

Do you live in the wood?

And what do you come to see?

Dear Mr. butterfly, won't you tell

Your secrets to someone like me?

(Tune: Pop Goes the weasel)

I spin and spin my chrysalis,

Then I go to rest inside.

When I come out,

I've changed indeed…

Look, I'm a butterfly!

What do caterpillars do?

Nothing but chew and chew.

What do Caterpillars know?

Nothing much but how to grow.

They just eat what by and by

will make them a butterfly,

But this is more than I can do

however much I chew and chew.
