sung to the tune of “straighten up and fly right”
There’s a butterfly on my milkweed
There’s a butterfly on my milkweed
There’s a butterfly on my milkweed
Drink up baby and be on your way
Took all summer and into the fall
You must have been having a ball
Heading south before the frost
Hurry my friend and don’t get lost
There’s a butterfly on my milkweed
There’s a butterfly on my milkweed
There’s a butterfly on my milkweed
Drink up baby and be on your way
That flower’s been waiting for you
Wondering if you’d ever come through
So glad you stopped to get refueled
Come back again baby after winter’s cool
There’s a butterfly on my milkweed
There’s a butterfly on my milkweed
There’s a butterfly on my milkweed
Drink up baby and be on your way
We’ll be looking for you some fine spring day.
