Incy Wincy Caterpillar Nr

Incy Wincy caterpillar, what are you doing there?
You’re not supposed to crawl up, you know it isn’t fair.

If you go to sleep up there, and then you make cocoons
What happens if you hatch out? One night on a full moon.

Incy Wincy caterpillar I really don’t want you,
Hatching in my bedroom, just cos you want too.

I’ll make a little bed for you, inside this nice matchbox
And when you hatch I’ll watch you, unfold your pearly locks.

Then I promise to let you go, you’ll find a lifelong mate
As long as you don’t lay your eggs here, I promise that’s a date…
