Lyrics

[Binky]

(Hey, pretty little butterfly! You can fly and fly all day! But you'd better watch it. 'Cause this net's called trouble. And if you wanna stay out of trouble...)

You gotta fly, butterfly, fly

Flip flop and fly, butterfly

Don't you get caught

Do what your mama and your daddy taught

Flutter by, butterfly! Fly high!

[Kids]

Fly high!

[Binky]

(I'm a Tough Customer, right?)

[Kids]

(You said it!)

[Binky]

(Do you remember what happened to the last guy I hit?)

[Kids]

(No, what?)

[Binky]

(Well, I... forgot.)

Maybe I wouldn't hurt a fly, or a flea, or a beetle or a bumblebee

Deep, deep down I'm a sensitive guy

But I really do want this poor butterfly

It would look so good in my collection

Better not fly in my direction!

You gotta fly, butterfly, fly

Flip flop and fly, butterfly

Stay away from me

Up in the big, blue sky is where you wanna be

Flutter by, butterfly! Fly high!

[Kids]

Fly high!

[Binky]

Way up there!

[Kids]

Fly high!

[Binky]

Don't tell me, tell that butterfly to fly!

You used to be such a square cat... erpillar

Munchin' on a leaf, not a second look I'd give ya'

But you ain't no larva, now, ha ha!

How did you get to look this way anyhow?

[Kids]

Metamorphosis!

[Binky]

Meta-what?

[Kids]

Metamorphosis!

[Binky]

Sue Ellen, tell me what they're talking about!

(brief instrumental break)

[Binky]

Oh, ho, ho, I get it! Oh yeah! Whoo! Whoo hoo!

Fly, fly, butterfly

Up to the beautiful sky, butterfly

Even though I want you to be mine, butterfly

Fly, but high, crazy butterfly

[Binky and Kids]

Up to the sky

Even though I want you to be mine, butterfly

[Binky]

You gotta fly, butterfly, fly

Flip flop and fly, butterfly

Don't you get caught

Do what your mama and your daddy taught

Flutter by, butterfly! Fly high!

[Kids]

Fly high!

[Binky]

Flap those wings!

[Kids]

Fly high!

[Binky]

Come to papa!

I think I got you!

(Hey, I caught a butterfly!)

[Boy]

(Hey, you let it go!)

[Binky]

(Yeah? Well, you gonna do something about it?

1, 2, 3!)

[Binky and Kids]

You gotta fly, butterfly, fly

Flip flop and fly, butterfly

Stay away from me

Up in the big, blue sky is where you wanna be

Flutter by, butterfly! Butterfly, flutter by! Fly high!
