Ladybugs
Sung to: “London Bridge”

The ladybug is round and red
Round and red, round and red,
The ladybug is round and red,
Two antennae on her head.

Bugs Come Out In Spring
Sung to: “When the Saints Come Marching In”
Oh when the bugs, come out in spring
Oh when the bugs come out in spring
I want to be outside watching
When the bugs come out in spring.

I'll see some crawl; I'll see some fly
I'll count how many go marching by
I'll watch and see how many I know
Of the bugs that come out in spring

I'm A Little Ladybug
Sung to: "I'm a Little Teapot"

I'm a little ladybug,
you can see.
I am a beetle,
pretty as can be.
I am brightly colored,
red and black.
Look at the pretty spots
on my back

This Little Lady Bug
Sung to: "This Little Light Of Mine"

This little ladybug,
I'm gonna let it fly.
This little ladybug,
I'm gonna let it fly.
This little ladybug,
I'm gonna let it fly.
Let it fly, let it fly, let it fly.

Lady Bug Song
Sung to:"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"
Lady Bug, Lady Bug
she landed on my nose
I went “kerchoo!” and
off she flew!
Her body is round with
big black dots,
My mommy told me
they're called spots.
Lady Bug, Lady Bug
she looks really neat
With her bright red wings,
And tiny black feet!
