Baby butterfly bobtail squid
Got an idea and she ran with it
Made a big plan and she conquered it
That baby butterfly bobtail squid

Baby butterfly bobtail squid
Made a little scheme and she worked for it
Had a big dream and she flew with it
That baby butterfly bobtail squid

Baby butterfly bobtail squid
Had a bunch of friends in symbiosis
Turning on the light or dimming it down
Everywhere she roam in the deep dark down

She shines
Even where the sun and moon don’t show
She lights her own way
Sparkling her own luminous glow

That baby butterfly bobtail squid
If she gets in trouble she can deal with it
Luminescent power she’s down with it
Baby butterfly bobtail squid

Baby butterfly bobtail squid
You can be a part of the protectors
You can make a plan how to care for the ocean
With the baby butterfly bobtail squid

She shines
(do do do do do, do do do do do, do do do do do)
She lights her way
(do do do do do, do do do do do, do do do do do do)
Where the sun and moon don’t show
(do do do do do, do do do do do, do do do do do)
Sparkling her own
(do do do do do, do do do do do)
Luminous glow

Baby butterfly bobtail squid
Now you know the name you can roll with it
Cephalopods of the deep Pacific
In the Indian ocean and wide Atlantic
