Lyrics:

(to the tune of “Children Go Where I Send Thee”)

I’m a caterpillar hatching from my egg
My mother is a butterfly and one day I will look like her

Each day I am changing
I’m always hungry
My mother is a butterfly and one day I will look like her

My skin is like a striped suit
It hides me from danger
My mother is a butterfly and one day I will look like her

My orange horn scares enemies away
My mother is a butterfly and one day I will look like her

I’ll change into a chrysalis when I’m full grown
My mother is a butterfly and one day I will look like her

When I’m seven weeks old I’ll become a butterfly
Resting in the warm sunshine
Waiting for my wings to fly
Drinking nectar and now I
Look just like my mother!
