Looking For Bugs
I want to look for bugs and things
Like butterflies and stuff with wings
I want to catch them in my hand
I want to look for bugs
I will look for bugs with you
Together we can find a few
Like moths and ants and worms and slugs
I will help you look for bugs
I want to see a grasshopper play
And watch a praying mantis pray
Why does the ladybug fly away?
I want to look for bugs
We’ll press our faces to the grass
And watch an earthworm slowly pass
Then gather June bugs in a jar
I’ll help you look for bugs
We’ll count the legs of a centipede
For butterflies, a net we’ll need
Then learn how long an inchworm is
When we look for bugs
But after we’ve had all that fun
And when the day is almost done
Remember each and every one
Of the bugs we found
Promise that you won’t keep some
And put them back where they came from
So that next time when I come
We can look for bugs
