Butterfly (original)

Hi all,

Hope you're having a splendid spring season! I had fun writing this butterfly song and thought I'd share it.

Lyrics:

Once there was a caterpillar roaming around the earth

Did she know she would sprout new wings and experience a second rebirth?

If she did, she's a stylin' magician

With an eye for extravagant positions....


Butterfly butterfly

Floating in the big blue sky

Gossamer wings, what joy you bring to the sunny side of the moon


Butterfly butterfly

No more earthwood leafmeal lie

You shed your skin, took yourself on a spin

You crafty little son of gun / You sly little son of a gun!


Eating leaves, a raison d'etre

Silken latches on a branch of a tree

Wriggling out of your old contraption

Sitting wrapped up so quietly

Emerging later to your new creation

Holy Jesus, good golly be!


Butterfly, oo oo oo

Flying high, oo oo oo

Pie in the sky

Marvel of the highest tune

We're gonna get there soon
