제목 : Millipedes and Centipedes

가수 : KimMitzoThompson

Millipede means “a thousand legs.”This creature’s quite a sight.

One thousand legs it does not have, but hundreds would be right.

It feeds on plants or dead insects and slowly crawls around.

You’ll find it lives in dark, damp placesclose to the ground.


Now, centipede means “a hundred legs.” This creature’s quite a sight.

One hundred legs it does not have, but fifty would be right.

You’ll find it feeds mainly at night; by day it will withdraw.

It feeds on insects that are alive and kills them with its claws.


Many legs, many legs running all around.

A millipede, a centipede, you’ll find them on the ground

or under leaves or rotted wood where it is nice and dark.

They even like to hide by rocks or by a piece of bark.


Now, millipedes and centipedes are good mothers to their young.

They make a nest and lay their eggs and clean each little one.

They coil their bodies around the eggs until they finally hatch

and help protect the newborns in its damp, dark habitat.

A millipede, when it is scared, will curl up in a coil,

protecting all its inner parts as it lays in the soil.

Pick up a rock and look real close, these creatures you will see.

For millipedes and centipedes will hide from you and me.


(Chorus)
