Swallow, swallow, sweeping swallow, flying O so high
I wish that I could be like you and fly away so high
I wish I could, but I can't
I wish I could, But I can't
I know...'cos my wings won't grow
 
Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home
Your house it is on fire and your children they have flown
Ladybird fly away
Ladybird fly away
Back home...for your children have flown
 
I can see a nasty spider creeping up on you
He says he's going to gobble you up, have you in his stew
If he says he will, then he will
If he says he will, then he will
I know.......'cos he told me so!
