- Jag är en liten fjärilslarv som legat och förpuppat mig, men nu så vill jag gärna ut och pröva mina vingar. Jag vill flyga, flyga långt, långt bort. Då fäller jag ut vingarna, så räknar jag till fyra: en, två, tre, fyra. Ah! Nu flyger jag (Nu flyger jag). Ja, nu flyger jag. Se där en blomma röd och fin, och glad blir jag när jag landar på blomman och luktar på blomman. Mm! Sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff, ah! Men nu så vill jag flyga vidare.
