Ladybug
Ladybugs all dressed in red,
Strolling through the flowerbed.
If I were tiny just like you
I'd creep among the flowers, too!

Five Little Ladybugs
Five little ladybugs climbing on some plants,
Eating the aphids, but not the ants.
The first one said, "Save some aphids for me."
The second one said, "They're as tasty as can be."
The third one said, "Oh they're almost gone."
The fourth one said, "Then we'd better move on."
The fifth one said, "Come on, let's fly!"
So they opened up their wings and they flew through the sky.

Ladybug
A small speckled visitor
Wearing a crimson cape,
Brighter than a cherry,
Smaller than a grape.
A polka-dotted someone
Walking on my wall,
A black-hooded lady
In a scarlet shawl.

Ladybug
The ladybug's a beetle.
It's shaped like a pea.
Its' color is a bright red
With lots of spots to see.
Although the name is "ladybug",
Some ladybugs are "men"
So why don't we say "gentleman bug"
Every now and then?

Ladybug, Ladybug
"Down in the hollow,
Not so far away
I saw some little Ladybugs
When I went to play
Swinging in the Clover,
Up in the air
I wonder if the Ladybugs
Knew I was there?"

I'm a Little Ladybug
(Tune: I'm a Little Teapot)
I'm a little ladybug, as you can see.
I am a beetle, pretty as can be.
I am brightly colored, red and black.
Look at the pretty spots on my back!
