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.
