If I were a butterfly...

Natalie and I were driving along in the car yesterday, on our way to a birthday/skating party, and this song came on. I had put the song on the ipod ages ago, forgot about it, and then when it came on my instinct was to change the song. Natalie changed it back. She'd never heard it and wanted to. And the funny thing is, it was my ALL TIME favorite song to sing at church when we had kids’ mass (back in the day at good ‘ol St. Pat’s in Dixon).

It’s got moves and everything!!! Yes, we were doing the moves as we drove down the road. We even changed some of the words to add a little Elvis flare!

The Butterfly Song/ {AKA the kids want to snap their arms like a crocodile song}

If I were a butterfly, I'd thank you Lord for giving me wings

If I were a robin in a tree, I'd thank you Lord that I could sing

If I were a fish in the sea, I'd wiggle my tail and I'd giggle with glee

But I just thank you father for making me, me (Uh, huh, huh, oh….)

For you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile

You gave me Jesus and you made me your child

And I just thank you Father for making me, me

If I were an elephant, I'd thank you Lord by raising my trunk

If I were a kangaroo, You know I'd hop right up to you

If I were an octopus, I'd thank you Lord for my fine looks

But I just thank you Father for making me, me (Uh, huh, huh, oh….)

For you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile

You gave me Jesus and you made me your child

And I just thank you Father for making me, me

If I were a wiggly worm, I'd thank you Lord that I could squirm

If I were a fuzzy wuzzy bear, I'd thank you Lord for my fuzzy, wuzzy hair

If I were a crocodile, I'd thank you Lord for my great smile

But I just thank you Father for making me, me (Uh, huh, huh, oh….)

For you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile

You gave me Jesus and you made me your child

And I just thank you Father for making me, me

And I just thank you Father for making me, ME!
