BUM BITTY BITTY
The Inch Worm
(Melody: Chim Chim Chree.)

                        Bum bitty bitty
                        Bum bitty bitty
                        Bum bum ba de,
                        We'll have a true fairy
                        Just you wait and see.
                        The sun and the moon and the stars up above
                        Are lined up to signal
                         A birth of true love.

                   Bum bitty bitty
                   Bum bitty bitty
                   Bum bum ba du.
                   Its evil that suffers
                   When fairies are true.
                   The dangers that cast an evil sign
                   Will harvest their own when given the time.

                   Bum bitty bitty
                   Bum bitty bitty
                   Bum bum ba de.
                   No one has ever been happy as me.
                   The justice we know that often is pale
                   Will be exposed from behind its dark veil.
                   We hope and we pray
                   That on this special day.
                   The fairy that's born
                   Will show us the way.

At the end of his song
The Inch Worm, though long,
Gently rappelled from his perch
And joined his friend there
A Woolly Worm, with much hair
And both continued to search.

"Are you sure?" asked the Woolly.
Said the Inch Worm, "You silly!
Of course I know these things!
You saw the star
And heard old Jowar
And saw the moon's mystic rings."

As the comrades moved on
Through the garden worn,
The Inch Worm quoted the past.
"Those who believe
Need no proof indeed,
For others no proof will last."

Dark shadows soon
Passed over the moon
And in course the garden grew dark
But a small shining glow
Was there where the star made its mark.
