My friendly caterpillar
(Crawl fingers up arm)

Made a cocoon one day
(Fold hands together)

It turned into a butterfly
(Hook thumbs and flap fingers)

And quickly flew away
(�Fly� hands away)

Sittin' on the fence post, chewin' bubble gum.
(Make chewing sounds)
Playin' with my yo-yo.
(Pretend you have a yo-yo)
Along came Herman the Worm, and he was this big.
(Hold your hands opened in front of you)
I said, "Herman, what's the matter?"

"I ate a car."

Sittin' on the fence post, chewin' bubble gum.
Playin' with my yo-yo.
Along came Herman the Worm, and he was this big.
(Open hands a little wider)
I said, "Herman, what's the matter?"

"I ate a truck."

Sittin' on the fence post, chewin' bubble gum.
Playin' with my yo-yo.
Along came Herman the Worm, and he was this big.
(Open hands a little wider)
I said, "Herman, what's the matter?"

"I ate a bus."

Sittin' on the fence post, chewin' bubble gum.
Playin' with my yo-yo.
Along came Herman the Worm, and he was this big.
(Open hands as wide as you can)
I said, "Herman, what's the matter?"

"I ate a train."

Sittin' on the fence post, chewin' my bubble gum.
Playin' with my yo-yo.
Along came Herman the Worm, and he was this big.
(Hold two fingers in front of your eye, opened a little)
I said, "Herman, what's the matter?"

"I Burped!"
