”Goin’ Buggy”
You’ll find us in the kitchen; you’ll find us in the halls.
You’ll find us in the woodwork or climbin’ up the walls.
We’re everywhere you go. We may be anywhere, you know!
We’re goin’ buggy! You’ll find us on your ceilings. You’ll find
us on your floors. We’re crawlin’ out of closets and comin’ in
your doors,
(chorus) But don’t you swat us, and don’t you smash us, and
no! no! don’t use spray! Why don’t you just try goin’ buggy
today?
You’ll find us on the sidewalk; you’ll find us in the yard.
You’ll find us in your garden; won’t have to look too hard.
In summer, spring or fall. We may be anywhere at all! We’re
goin’ buggy! You’ll find us in your attics and underneath
your rugs. You never will outguess us; we’re cagey little bugs.
(chorus)
Why don’t you give a little bug a huggy. Why don’t you just
try goin’ buggy today!
“That’s No Way to Treat a Ladybug”
Well, I was strollin’ along one fine day in the spring, when a
little boy came over to me. And he said, “Look at that thing!”
Then he tickled my wing, and I turned just as red as can be.
And then he took me to his home. He put me in a jar. Then
he stuck me on a shelf on the wall; And I said, that’s no way
to treat a ladybug! No! no way at all. Well, I fooled him! Yes,
I did! I crawled up the jar and out a hole in the lid!
Then on a hot summer day I was wingin’ my way; Then I
landed on a blanket, you see. And in a moment or two from
right out of the blue, a bunch o’ kids were staring at me. And
then they flipped me over once; They flipped me over twice.
They were laughin’, they were havin’ a ball; and I said, that’s
no way to treat a ladybug! No! no way at all.
And then they lifted me up in the air, a shame to recall! They
let me drop to see if I would fly or fall! Now I say, that’s no
way to treat a ladybug, It’s an uncouth way to treat a
ladybug, Just no way to treat a ladybug! No! no way at all!
Listen, pal, don’t mess with this gal!
“Firefly, Firefly”
Firefly, firefly, glowing in the night, Firefly,
firefly, what a pretty sight! No battery or wire,
yet you set the sky afire, sparkling with your
magic light. Firefly, firefly, we would like to
know Firefly, firefly, how you keep aglow! Oh,
you’re the main attraction with your chemical
reaction. Now it’s time to start the show.
(chorus) Let your nightlight shine, all around
the world. Brighten up the sky for every boy
and girl. Let your nightlight shine with a magic
glow. Fly on and let it glimmer* (everywhere
you go.) (chorus)
*With a sparkle never dimmer; keep that bright
and happy shimmer everywhere you go.
(* second time through chorus, follow * to the end)
“The Honeybee Song”
(chorus) Bzzz! Bzzz! Bee! Bees! Bees! Bees! Buzzin’ in the
bushes, buzzin’ in trees! Buzzin’ around wherever they please.
There’s nothin’ so sweet as a honeybee!
They gather pollen from the flowers, you see, then fly back home
as fast as can be. They work and work so bzzzily to make sweet
honey for you and me. Oh, yes, they make sweet honey for you
and me. (chorus)
And when you bump into a bee again, be sure to say, “I thank
you, my friend, for makin’ such a tasty treat. Ooh-ooh! Your
honey is oh, so sweet! Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh! Your honey is oh, so
sweet! Bees! Bees! Bees! Bees! Buzzin’ in bushes, buzzin’ in
trees! Buzzin’ around wherever they please. There’s nothin’ so
sweet, There’s nothin’ so sweet, there’s nothin’ so sweet as the
honeybee. Bzzt!
”Fuzzy Little Caterpillar”
(chorus) Fuzzy ---- Wuzzy!
Fuzzy ---- Wuzzy!
Fuzzy little caterpillar, just crawlin’ here and there.
Fuzzy little caterpillar, just inchin’ everywhere.
I’d see the world anew if I could crawl around like you.
Oh gee, I’d like to be a fuzzy caterpillar, too. (chorus)
Fuzzy little caterpillar, your crawlin’ days are through.
Fuzzy little caterpillar, it’s sleepy time for you,
When you wake up, you’ll see somehow you’ve
changed so magically. Now you’re a pretty butterfly!
Come fly away with me. Pretty little butterfly, come fly
away with me, pretty little butterfly, come fly away
with me.
“The Buggy Wuggy”
When all the people go to sleep and all the lights are
turned „way down low, that‟s when the bugs come
out, dressed in their finest clothes. Then they strut
around all night through, bees and ladybugs, spiders
too; they all come out to boogie at the Buggywug Ball.
Oh how they shimmy and jitterbug „cross the floor!
And then they twist and wiggle and skitter around
some more. Big bugs, little bugs, short and tall. Fat
bugs, skinny bugs, wall to wall, all come out to boogie
at the Buggywug Ball! See how they boogie, boggie
woogie through the night. Stompin‟ and a shakin‟
until the mornin‟ light. Big bugs, little bugs, short and
tall, fat bugs, skinny bugs, wall to wall! All come out
to boggie at the Buggywug Ball! That‟s all!
”The Bugs’ Bill of Rights”
We’re marching off to Washington today,
we’ll stand before the Congress! We will have
our say! We’ll face them, proud and tall, united
one and all, and tell them in a most respectful
way: “We know you have important things to
do, but we would like to read our Bill of Rights
to you. Our future is at stake. Please give us
bugs a break! Oh won’t you try to see our point
of view?”
We realize our cause may take a fight! It’s
worth it if they pass our Buggy Bill of rights.
Then bugs across the land can all join hand in
hand, just goin’ buggy to their hearts’ delight.
We’re hopin’ that the Congressmen will say,
that they declare a National Buggy Holiday.
How happy we will be when folks from sea to
sea are goin’ buggy all the way.
