[Verse 1]
F
I’ve been thinking about caterpillars
A
And the things they don’t know
Dm C
All they do is eat on leaves and then they gradually grow
F A7
When they pop out of their eggs, do they have any clue
Dm C
What their life will have in store for them and what they will do?
F
They don’t know where they’re headed
A
They don’t know where they’re from
Dm C
And they have absolutely no idea what they will become
F A7
Thеse little wormies mеtamorphosize into something more
Dm
But I want to make it clear
C
This song is not a metaphor

[Chorus]
F A Dm G7
I just think caterpillars don’t know what’s going on
F
They’re dopey as heck, don’t know why we 
A Dm
Respect something that can’t do long division
C
Write petitions, or pay with a check
F
(AND I CAN DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS!)
A Dm A7
I just think caterpillars don’t know what’s going on!
F A
I can eat leaves, and I can also climb trees
Dm C
And I can also conceive of what I’ll be in three years:
C F
A keeper of bees
F
(A beekeeper!)

[spoken]
N.C.
I’d like to see a caterpillar do that
