Conrad the Caterpillar thought he was really killer, |
|
Couldn't wait to build a cocoon (original lyrics) |
|
Couldn't wait to buy blue suede shoes (recent lyrics) |
|
Spent all his days eatin' leaves in the shade |
|
And stayed when the night set, too. |
|
Conrad the Caterpillar knew life would be a thriller |
|
Soon as the threads was spun |
|
Wouldn't stop to play in the Caterpillar Games |
|
Till his own webbing game was done. |
|
He said, "No, no, I got no time to play, |
|
Got a thousand little legs that don't get me too far in a day, |
|
I'm leaving, looks like I can't stay." |
|
That little pillar he found him a willow |
|
Spun in with a craftsmans weave |
|
Wound so tightly to protect him from the light |
|
And all shapes of water that drop from the leaves |
|
Conrad the Caterpillar knew he would be a chiller |
|
And he wound it tighter some more |
|
Wound it so wide and the ends of his legs got sore. |
|
He said, "No, now I can't feel my feet |
|
Just when I thought it was time to take a stroll on down the street |
|
I'm leaving, looks like I can't leave |
|
What do you know? |
|
What's all this moving around with inside me? |
|
What kind of 'piller could touch the world of a miller |
|
Chopping trees to build a new store |
|
Nobody sees a lonely bump on the tree |
|
Except a lump who's crying for more |
|
Conrad the Caterpillar knew life would be a chiller as he wound it tighter some more |
|
Anybody stands in the caterpillar's place is moving in a standing run |
|
He said, "No brother, I just need some room to fly, |
|
I spent all of my days just trying to keep dry |
|
Oh I'd take a waterfall or a drop from my eye |
|
I can't see nothin' from here anyway, I might as well make room and try |
|
Might as well try |
|
Oh no, I just need a little room to play |
|
Got a thousand little wings and I'm gonna use them all today |
|
I'm leaving, it looks like I gotta stay. |
