I’s a-goin’ to stay,

I is, I is,

Wiv my gamma all day,

I is, I is!

The Butterflies

A few slight changes, such as “I am a butterfly” for first line, will fit the song to be sung by one child instead of several. The suitable changes will suggest themselves to mother or teacher. A butterfly-look may be given to the little ones by wings of tissue paper fastened between the shoulders, or even by broad bows of wide, gay-colored ribbon.

Children enter singing and circle about a table of flowers.
