Monarch butterflies love to fly, Every year traveling thousands of miles
They crawl, they eat, they sleep, grow wings, Goin’ south in the fall, north in the spring
Chorus
They make their way along the milkweed path, Layin’ their eggs and then they pass….
The first caterpillars hatch in April and May, then go munchin’ all through those days
Alternative Chorus:
Caterpillar Dance, caterpillar dance, everybody do the caterpillar dance,
Crawl along and prance and prance, everybody do the caterpillar dance.
When it’s time they spin chrysalis strings, sleep a bit, then flap new wings
Further north their migration goes, Feeding on the milkweed that they see below
Butterfly Chorus…
The summer generation goes flying around, Drinking from the flowers down on the ground
First scent of autumn they’ll be ready to go, From Canada back to Mexico
Chorus
