The Ladybug wears no disguises.

She is just what she advertises.

A speckled spectacle of spring,

A fashion statement on the wing.

In nature's polka dots.  The thing

that often comes as a surprise is

The Ladybug wears no disguises.

She is just what she advertises.

A miniature orange kite.

A tiny dot-to-dot delight.

She envies Butterfly's exciting

flutter-by!  But nature's prize is

A Ladybug with no disguises,

who is just what she advertises!
