*****

Never Hurt a Ladybug
Tune: Yankee Doodle

Ladybugs are in my yard.
Just look at them devour
Those pesky aphids on the leaves
Of Mother's pretty flowers.

Never hurt a ladybug.
We need them in the garden.
Ladybugs help flowers grow
So we must never hurt them!

*****

I'm a Hungry Aphid
Tune: I'm a Little Teapot

I'm a hungry aphid watch me eat.
Tender little flowers are my treat.
When I'm in your garden I have lunch.
I eat your roses, munch, munch, munch.

*****

Pretty Little Ladybug
Tune: Eensy Weensy Spider

Pretty little ladybug
Climbs up the long, green stem.
She sees some aphids
And hurries after them.
She eats those insects
The ones that are such pests
Then the pretty little ladybug
Flies far away to rest.
