Track 1 - Bugs and Crawly Things Let's sing, about bugs and crawly things Let's dance, like we've got ants in our pants Let's move, like the wiggle worms do Let's sing, about bugs and crawly things! Slither, slide, crawl, creep Wiggle, walk, flutter, leap!	Track 7 - Sweet Honey Sweet honey, don't you see the big yellow bumblebee? Sweet honey, don't you see the big yellow bumblebee?
