I’m a busy honeybee
I’m a daring dragonfly
I’m an Archeys frog
I’m a katipo hiding in the driftwood
I’m a happy huhu grub
I’m a little blue ladybug
I’m a red admiral butterfly

Don’t be scared of bugs

Insects, amphibians, arachnids and invertebrates
Bugs are many; bugs are very interesting and numerous

Don’t be scared of bugs

I’m a silky spinning spider
I’m a shy and secret slater
I’m a pink and wriggly earthworm
Keeping all the soil turned
I’m a copper caterpillar
I’m a giant wētāpunga
I’m a powelliphanta snail

Don’t be scared of bugs

Insects, amphibians, arachnids and invertebrates
Bugs are many; bugs are varied, interesting and numerous
Insects, amphibians, arachnids and invertebrates
Bugs are many; bugs are very interesting and numerous

Don’t be scared of bugs
Don’t call us names or make a nasty fuss
We’re just little bugs in a big big world
Come on now

Insects, amphibians, arachnids and invertebrates
Bugs are many; bugs are very interesting and numerous
Insects, amphibians, arachnids and invertebrates
We are many, we are varied, interesting and numerous
Don’t be scared of bugs

I’m a three-eyed tuatara
I’m a stick insect in the Manuka
I’m a bright green beautiful puriri moth
Flying aloft for just one night

I’m a glow worm shining by the river
(don’t be scared of bugs)
I’m a cicada in the summer
(don’t be scared of bugs)
I’m a giant centipede
(don’t be scared of bugs)
Hiding in the leaves

Da da da (Don’t be scared of bugs)
Da da da (Don’t be scared of bugs)
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da

Just a little bug!
Don’t be scared of bugs
