Flutterby

If you catch a butterfly and then you let it go Do you ever wonder where the butterfly will go Will she settle in a tree or fly up to the sky Perhaps the pretty butterfly will simply flutter by Or will the little butterfly go off and lay some eggs To make some caterpillars with a lot of little legs They’ll grow by eating lots of leaves and then they'll make a shell Inside they'll sleep and soon become a butterfly as well So if you catch a butterfly be sure to set it free For everyone around the world will smile if they should see A very pretty butterfly as pretty as can be And you can say a butterfly was once a friend to me
