When I was young my father said
"Son I have something to say"
And what he told me I'll never forget
Until my dyin' day.
He said "Son you are a butterfly boy
And that's the way to stay.
Son, you be a butterfly boy until your dyin' day
When I was sixteen I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as could be.
But I remember'd just in time,
What my daddy said to me.
He said "Son you are a butterfly boy
And that's the way to stay.
Son, you be a butterfly boy until your dyin' day
As time goes by I probably will
Meet a girl and fall in love
Then I'll get married have a wife and a child
And they'll be my turtle doves.
But until then I'll be a butterfly boy and that's the way I'll stay,
Happy to be a butterfly boy,
Until my dyin' day.
But until then I'll be a butterfly boy and that's the way I'll stay,
Happy to be a butterfly boy,
Until my dyin' day.
I was going to delete the third verse but I guess that comes to many butterfles so I left it in.

edit - I should add that I was in a pub at home tonight and it was Cliff on the jukebox for about 30 minutes so I said WTF? I can assure you he is not on my birthday card list.
