about

I wrote this with a group of first and second graders who were learning about the life cycle of a butterfly. They taught me what they were learning and I put this song together for them to sing. Timeless, educational, fun.I especially like the chrysalis verse.

lyrics

The Butterfly Song Belinda Bowler and friends

Butterfly butterfly butterfly butterfly
Butterfly butterfly butterfly butterfly
Butterfly butterfly butterfly butterfly
Butterfly butterfly butterfly butterfly

Tiny Egg tiny egg tiny egg tiny egg
Tiny Egg tiny egg tiny egg tiny egg
Tiny Egg tiny egg tiny egg tiny egg
Tiny Egg tiny egg tiny egg tiny egg

I am a tiny egg
Stuck to this leaf like glue
In a few days I’ll hatch from here
And start another life anew

Caterpillar caterpillar caterpillar caterpillar
Caterpillar caterpillar caterpillar caterpillar
Caterpillar caterpillar caterpillar caterpillar
Caterpillar caterpillar caterpillar caterpillar

I like being a caterpillar
It’s a hungry life to lead
I can eat my way across any old leaf
But Milkweed is the best for me

Chrysalis chrysalis chrysalis chrysalis
Chrysalis chrysalis chrysalis chrysalis
Chrysalis chrysalis chrysalis chrysalis
Chrysalis chrysalis chrysalis chrysalis

Here I am not a chrysalis
Wrapped in my own design
Changing inside to a whole different me
I’m sure it will be just fine

Butterfly butterfly butterfly butterfly
Butterfly butterfly butterfly butterfly
Butterfly butterfly butterfly butterfly
Butterfly butterfly butterfly butterfly

A job of being a butterfly
Is to make sure they’ll be more of me
I spend my days laying lots of eggs
On every leaf and tree

Tiny Egg tiny egg tiny egg tiny egg
Caterpillar caterpillar caterpillar caterpillar
Chrysalis chrysalis chrysalis chrysalis
Butterfly butterfly butterfly butterfly
Tiny Egg tiny egg tiny egg tiny egg
Caterpillar caterpillar caterpillar caterpillar
Chrysalis chrysalis chrysalis chrysalis…..
