Butterfly Cycle

(to the tune of "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.
