Three Little Butterflies versuri

Versuri Shari Lewis – Three Little Butterflies lyrics

[Lamb Chop / Sung]
One fine morning, I awoke —
And there, on my windowsill,
I discovered three cocoons,
Lying there so still.
And, right before my very eyes,
Three little butterflies,
Three little butterflies
All began to hatch.

[Spoken]
And the first one said, “(imitates butterfly language).”

And the second one said, “(imitates butterfly language).”

And the third one said,

[Charley Horse (as the Third Butterfly)]
Hey, man, like… what a drag!

[Sung]
I don’t wanna be a butterfly,
Flyin’ around all da-a-ay!
I just wanna be a record star
With a big guitar to play-hey… hey-hey-hey!

[Spoken]
Man, like… I don’t dig insects!

[Lamb Chop / Sung]
Then I took them to my room,
And said, “You must learn to fly!
You won’t find it hard to do
If you will only try!”
And, right before my very eyes,
Three little butterflies,
Three little butterflies
All began to fly.

[Spoken]
And the first one flew all the way up to the ceiling!

And the second one flappèd his little wings with joy!

And the third one just sat there!

[Charley Horse (as the Third Butterfly)]
Don’t bug me, baby; I got acid!

[Sung]
I don’t wanna be a butterfly,
Flyin’ around all da-a-ay!
I just wanna be a record star
With a big guitar to play-hey… hey-hey-hey!

[Spoken]
Like, man… I don’t wanna fly. I wanna FLY!!!

[Lamb Chop]
All day long, we played and played…
Until my mommy said,
“You must turn out all the lights;
It’s time to go to bed.”
And, right before my very eyes,
Three little butterflies,
Three little butterflies
All began to yawn.

[Spoken]
And the first one said, “(imitates butterfly language).”

And the second one said, “(imitates butterfly language).”

And the third one said,

[Charley Horse (as the Third Butterfly)]
Hey, baby… I can’t sleep when it’s DARK!!

[Sung]
I don’t wanna be a butterfly,
Flyin’ around all da-a-ay!
I just wanna be a record star
With a big guitar to play-hey… hey-hey-hey!

[Spoken]
Man, like… I can’t make this scene!

Like, uh, what’s with the wings?

What I got to look forward to? Pollen?

Like, what’s my theme song?

[Sung]
A sleepy cocoon,
A tropical moon…

[Spoken]
No, no, man, it don’t make it! It just don’t make it. No!
