Two Little Black Birds

Two little black birds
Sitting on the wall,
(hold up one finger of each hand)
One named Peter,
The other named Paul.
Fly away Peter!
(put a hand behind your back)
Fly away, Paul!
(put the other hand behind you back)
Come back, Peter!
(bring the first hand from behind your back)
Come back, Paul!
(bring the second hand from behind your back)

And can't tell where to find them,
Leave them alone, and they'll come home
Wagging their tails behind them.

Mr. Butterfly

Butterflly, butterfly, where do you fly?
Where do you go alone?
Is it for flowers and honey you spy?
Have you a home of your own?

What is your name?
Do you live in the wood?
And what do you come to see?
Dear Mr. Butterfly, won't you tell
Your secrets to someone like me?

Butterfly, Butterfly

Butterfly, Butterfly,
Fly Away,
You were a caterpillar yesterday
Butterfly, Butterfly
You never stay,
Always flying to a new day.
