A Rhythmic finger play or lap bouncer
Ladybird ladybird, fly out of the farm
And land right on my little arm
Ladybird ladybird, fly out of the tree
And land right on my little knee
Ladybird ladybird, fly out of your bed
And land right on my little head
Ladybird ladybird, fly out of the rose
And land right on my little nose!
Ladybird, by Rachel
Ladybird all dressed in red
Strolling through the flowerbed
If I was tiny just like you
I’d live among the flowers too,
Oh ladybird
La la la la Ladybird
Oh ladybird
La la la la ladybird
Spots, Spots, Spots!
Spots Spots Spots Spots
Spots Spots Spots Spots
Ladybirds have lots of spots
What a lot of spots she’s got
Bumble Bees have stripes
Like legs in tights
Ladybirds have
Spots Spots Spots Spots
Spots Spots Spots Spots
