Out on the branch
A ladybug crawled
She wasn't big,
She was quite small.

The dots on her back.
Were black like her head
The rest of her body was
Colored red.

She wasn't afraid,
And I know why.
If she was threatened,
Then off she would fly!

ONCE THERE WAS A LADYBUG
Tune: "Mary Had A Little Lamb"

Once there was a ladybug,
Ladybug, ladybug.
Once there was a ladybug,
Who went outside to play.

She liked to crawl around,
Crawl around, crawl around.
She liked to crawl around
Crawling different ways.

Once a great big bird came by,
Bird came by, bird came by.
Once a great big bird came by,
So she flew away.

Jean Warren

Have your child act out the actions
In the song.
