Lyrics Cousin Caterpillar - The Incredible String Band

Cousin Caterpillar

My cousin has great changes coming
One day he’ll wake with wings
Cousin Caterpillar, seven pairs of legs for you
Cousin Caterpillar, can you tell me what they do?
Well, all that I can say
Is that they seem to help some way
To pull my little body along
Well first I didn’t know their use
But worrying you only lose
So I said I love you and I love what you do Come on do your thing
Cousin Caterpillar, white and silky threads for you
Cousin Caterpillar, can you tell me what they do?
My cousin as you see
Takes his changes easily
O happy we Could we take each change so easily
Then all that we could say
Is that it would seem to help some way
To pull our little bodies along
So we say I love you and I love what you do Come on do your thing
