Lyrics[edit]

[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!
