Nashville Kids' Sound - Ladybug, Ladybug Lyrics

Oh, what do you eat, ladybug, ladybug?
Oh, what do you eat when you’re hungry?
I eat aphids for a snack. They suck juice from the plants.
And the farmers like that I protect their crops.

Oh, what do you do when you’re scared, ladybug?
Oh, what do you do when you’re frightened?
I turn over on my back, tuck my legs in and play dead,
and most birds know that I’m not a tasty meal.

Oh, what do you do when it’s time to lay your eggs?
Oh, what do you do when it’s time?
I find a leaf or plant, lay my yellow eggs on them.
They are sticky, so they don’t fall to the ground.

Oh, what do you do when the wind starts to blow?
Oh, what do you do when it’s cold?
I find other ladybugs and we find a hiding place,
and we hibernate throughout the long cold winter.
