Little Arabella Miller
found a woollycaterpillar

First it crawled up on her mother
then upon her baby brother

They said, "Arabella Miller!"
"Take away that caterpillar!"

Little Arabella Miller
found a woolly caterpillar

First it crawled upon her brother
then upon her dear grandmother

They said, "Arabella Miller!"
"How we love your caterpillar."

The caterpillar ate and ate
Lettuce on a pretty plate
Caterpillar grew so well
Caterpillar grew a shell

Said little Arabella Miller
"What happened to my Caterpillar?"

In his shell, he grew some more
Bigger changes were in store
In the shell, some wings did grow
Pretty colors he will show

Arabella Miller said, "Oh, my!"
"Look at how that thing can fly."

Caterpillar is no more
Moth or butterfly for sure
Flew some more to test its wings
Ready now to see new things

Little Arabella Miller
waved "Good bye." to caterpillar
