flights of fancy

Our movie DVD shop is shutting down. Managed to get a lot of original DVDs at their clearance. Watched Cat in a Hat today.

New year celebs are scheduled in the apartment this weekend. Anush wishes to be a butterfly for the fancy dress event!! Need to find an apt rhyme / song for her to recite. Any ideas?

Long long back I said something like

"Butterfly butterfly
come with me
no no no I have long ways to go

Butterfly butterfly
dance with me
no no I have long ways to go

similarly sing with me and laugh

I am pretty sure it came off some book or that is what my mother tells me but it could easily be her creation. I have been searching for that song to sing to my lil one for ages but have not found it. It used to be my trademark song when I was in 1st standard and I have won some prize for that. I actually think it was a fancy dress competition

Fav @ is Barney butterfly song, it goes with numbers 4 - none, I only remember a part

1 little butterfly sitting in the sun,
she flew away and then there was none.
B.fly, b.fly, fly fly away
B.fly, b.fly, happy all day

Butterfly, Butterfly; so awesome and free,
spread your wings and fly to me, ever so graceful and full of love, you shine like the sun above, Butterfly, Butterfly, so awesome and free,

I wish for the true love you, they bring me to see,
Butterfly, Butterfly, so full of color and cheer,
when I see you, I feel you so near,
Butterfly, Butterfly, you lighten my day,
and hope in my life you will stay.................

Flutter flutter flutterby,
Flying high in the blue sky,
With wings so bright & colourful,
