Butterfly Cycle (Sung to "Row, Row, Row Your Boat")

Hatch, hatch little egg, I'm so very small.
Teeny tiny caterpillar, You can't see me at all.

Crawl, caterpillar, crawl, Munching on a leaf.
Crawling, munching, crawling, munching, Eat and eat and eat.

Form, form chrysalis, I'm a different shape;
Hanging by a silken thread Until I can escape.

Rest, rest, chrysalis While I change inside;
Now at last my time has come To be a butterfly.

Stretch, stretch, pretty wings, It's a special day;
Soon they will be strong enough For me to fly away.

Fly, fly, butterfly, Fly from flower to tree;
Find a place to lay my eggs So they can grow like me.
