Now a butterfly has the brightest colorful wings I’ve ever seen Patterns of red and yellow and blue, purple and orange and green From its chrysalis it hatches out to the world where it is free And this is the story of yesterday when a butterfly landed on me There was a little butterfly flying through the air Back and forth across the sky darting here to there I watched it for a while and then what do you suppose To my surprise it came real close and landed on my nose Now a butterfly has the brightest colorful wings I’ve ever seen Patterns of red and yellow and blue, purple and orange and green From its chrysalis it hatches out to the world where it is free And this is the story of yesterday when a butterfly landed on me Now what do you do when a butterfly has landed on your face Do you smile at it with dignity and welcome it with grace I thought of that but then again what’s a man to do When a butterfly is tickling your nose you have to say ah-choo Now a butterfly has the brightest colorful wings I’ve ever seen Patterns of red and yellow and blue, purple and orange and green From its chrysalis it hatches out to the world where it is free And that was the story of yesterday when a butterfly landed on me |
