Se där en blomma röd och fin, och glad blir jag när jag landar på blomman och luktar på blomman. Mm! Sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff, ah! Men nu så vill jag flyga vidare. Då fäller jag ut vingarna, så räknar jag till fyra: en, två, tre, fyra. Ah! Nu flyger jag (Nu flyger jag). Ja, nu flyger jag. Flax, flax, flax, flax, flax, fast mycket fortare.
