The Butterfly Boy
Little Jimmy Dipkins caught butterflies for fun He knew where to find them, was ever so kind to them, He patted their little antennae with love Soon, within Jimmy, the butterflies found joy They'd fly 'round behind him, above, and beside him And little Jimmy became the butterfly boy But one day Jimmy said, 'Please call me James' He left home for law school, got married, and moved to a big fancy house on a big fancy lake Attorney James Dipkins was walking one day The butterflies found him, then flew all around him But Attorney James Dipkins had a very big case The butterflies cried, 'Jimmy, why won't you play?' They wept and they moaned They said, 'Jimmy, Come home!' And Jimmy said, 'Wait - Look guys, I'm an adult. I can't be seen playing with butterflies. Are there not other young boys with whom you can play?' Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com With one soft, sad sigh the butterflies left Adult human James went to argue his case And the earlier hour gave way to the rest Deep in the court rooms Attorney James lost What had he missed? That detail, or this? He left in dismay. What to say to the boss? Outside the courthouse Adult James turned home When there on his left hand, a butterfly landed And Attorney James Dipkins felt much less alone Now Attorney James Dipkins is the butterfly man On his way to a case, they flutter in place and he wins every one with the slight of his hand When James has grown old and his cases are done He'll tell all his children and wee bitty grandchildren, 'You are never ever too old to have fun.'
