Tekst piosenki
A butterfly was flying by a garden in July He landed on a cabbage leaf and heard a mournful sigh A big fat hairy caterpillar nibbling on a leaf Said if I could fly like you that would be a relief But look here said the butterfly not very long ago I sat and nibbled leaves like you And crawled around so slow But soon you?ll be a butterfly And through the leaves you?ll flutter by And you will be so happy that you never more will say Caterpillars only crawl Caterpillars only crawl Crawling here, nibbling there Crawling nibbling everywhere Caterpillars only crawl And I?d like to reach the garden wall But on the sleep by day Nibbling all day Never getting anywhere at all But look here said the butterfly not very long ago I sat and nibbled leaves like you And crawled around so slow But soon you?ll be a butterfly And through the leaves you?ll flutter by And you will be so happy that you never more will say Caterpillars only crawl Caterpillars only crawl Crawling here, nibbling there Crawling, nibbling, everywhere Caterpillars only crawl And I?d just crawl and nibble that saw But one fine day You?ll fly away And flutter by the garden wall
