Joe describes this as "the girlfriend of Jethro Tull's 'Jack-In-The-Green'". We tend to do this as a flute and harpsichord instrumental, as neither of us are secure enough in our manliness to sing it in public!

Mother of flutter
She'll ride the warm summer breeze
Cocoon, the only shelter
From winter freeze
As you pass by
Show a smile, if you please
Then turn away
If you feel you must sneeze
Then the dark winter comes
All of her children run
Within stories told
Many died from the cold
But those who made their bed
Within the dark thread
Shall rise anew
With colors red, white, & blue
She is the Butterfly Queen
