Head, thorax, abdomen
We're built inside out, no bones within
Head, thorax, abdomen
I'm talking about my insect friends
They go through metamorphic change
They turn from weird to really strange
Wings to fly, antennae too
Mouth parts to suck and chew
Head, thorax, abdomen
We're built inside out, no bones within
Head, thorax, abdomen
I'm talking about my 6-legged friends
Some aren't so good to have around
Because they eat my garden down
Others are beneficial guests
Because they eat those garden pests
Head, thorax, abdomen
We're built inside out, no bones within
Head, thorax, abdomen
I'm talking about my insect friends
Moths, wasps, flies, & fleas
Crickets, ants, beetles, & bees
Each one has a part to play
From pollinating flowers to eating decay
Head, thorax, abdomen
We're built inside out, no bones within
Head, thorax, abdomen
I'm talking about my 6-legged friends
If you want a different point of view
Get down on the ground and do what insects do
And if you see a foot in the air
Hope it's a foot that steps with care!
Head, thorax, abdomen
We're built inside out, no bones within
Head, thorax, abdomen
I'm talking about my insect friends
