Lyrics

Caterpillar, caterpillar, munching, munching
Ate through a leaf or two
For caterpillar, caterpillar, munching, munching
Didn't have a lot to do.
But the leaves were very tasty
And there seemed a lot to spare
So caterpillar, caterpillar went on munching
Munching everywhere,

Caterpillar, caterpillar, feeling sleepy
fixed up a silken bed
The caterpillar, caterpillar, climbed inside
and covered up his sleepy head.
In the dark he slept and rested
As the days and nights went by
Till on a sunny morning when the silk bed burst
he was a Butterfly!

Butterfly, oh butterfly, a flitt'ring, flutt'ring;
Oh what a sight to see.
And as the lovely butterfly was flutt'ring by,
I heard him sing a song to me :
'Oh I never knew God could do
such a wondrous thing for me;
for he took me as a caterpillar and he made
a butterfly of me.'
