There are butterflies in my tummy!
They're huge and maybe gummy!
To be in front of the crowd,
Singing in a microphone!
For all to hear!
There are butterflies in my tummy!
I know they're feeding on me!
Taking my vocal cords!
Making them tight
Oh me I'm bound to be such a sight
Maybe the butterflies can carry a tune,
If not I'm sure i'll sing low
Let the crowd carry the tune.
Better yet maybe the birds will be out
On this a summer day.
There are butterflies in my tummy!
They are getting quite pro-funday'
Yeah even butterflies have a tune
so I better just start singing tune for tune.

P.s wish me luck! or at least the butterflies (lol)

Rosebud - it is said that a person who
goes on stage that has lost their butterflies
is not worth watching.

Take a deep breath.  Know your subject
well and look just above their heads, and
as you get more experienced - take your
eyes and make your audience meet yours

Wonderful poem full of hope and fear and
the great nature that we all have.

Good luck...I hope the butterflies give you a resonance that makes the audience weep at your singing perfection!
