It's the Butterfly Waltz The butterfly dance Softly and gently and oh so silently you fly Once you were a caterpillar Then you built yourself a cocoon Your stayed there inside for a couple of weeks And when you came out, you sang a new tune It's the Butterfly Waltz The butterfly dance I love to watch you when I get the chance Calmly and smoothly you beautifully move through the air It's the Butterfly Waltz The butterfly dance Watching you flutter Pretty and fragile, you magically drift here and there It's the Butterfly Waltz The butterfly dance Floating around like a butterfly can Softly and gently and oh so silently you fly It's the Butterfly Waltz The butterfly dance "Le Dance du Pappillion," as they say in France Peaceful and graceful, you tastefully take to the sky
