Toddlers
(Sing to the tune of "Itsy, Bitsy Spider")
| The little caterpillar crawled up into a tree, | |
| Spun his cocoon and slept so quietly, | |
| All through the winter he didn't make a sound, | |
| He dreamt of his new life when he could fly around. | |
| While he was sleeping the snow did gently fall, | |
| Winter came and went, then he heard the robin's call, | |
| Come on, Mr. Butterfly, out of your cocoon | |
| Spread your wings and fly for me, while I sing my tune. |
