Cousin Caterpillar - Incredible String Band

My cousin has great changes coming

One day he’ll wake with wings

Cousin Caterpillar, seven pairs of legs for you

Cousin Caterpillar, can you tell me what they do?

Well, all that I can say

Is that they seem to help some way

To pull my little body along

Well first I didn’t know their use

But worrying you only lose

So I said I love you and I love what you do Come on do your thing

Cousin Caterpillar, white and silky threads for you

Cousin Caterpillar, can you tell me what they do?

My cousin as you see

Takes his changes easily

O happy we Could we take each change so easily

Then all that we could say

Is that it would seem to help some way

To pull our little bodies along

So we say I love you and I love what you do Come on do your thing
