Lyrics
I'm a caterpillar, I get no respect

People say I'm just a grubby-chubby insect

Pollen, pesticide, food denied

Brushed aside, stepped on by shoes

I've got the little-leggy-lumpy-looking

Lettuce-lunching lonely larva blues

I crawl really slow, I've got too many feet

I'm hungry all the time, all I do is eat

They say I'm a pest, I have passed

Like the rest, and look at me with ooze

I've got the backbones bug-bashing bird-biding bad bug blues

But things won't be like this when I spin my chrysalis

Come out as a beautiful butterfly

They'll see my pretty wings and my new antenna things

I'll be way up high when I fly (yeah!)

(instrumental break)

But things won't be like this with my metamorphosis

I'll be a beautiful butterfly

They'll see my pretty wings and my new antenna things

I'll be way up high when I fly

Yes, I'm a caterpillar, I get no respect

But all of that will change, I'll be a brand new insect

No more pesticide, food denied

Brushed aside, stepped on by shoes

But until then I've got lonely larva caterpillar blues

(Look out world, here I come!)
