The Grasshopper (Orthoptera)
TEACHER
Sit down, everyone
We have a new class speaker today
And he's a grasshopper!
Jump around, jump around all day
Jump around all night
Jump around, jump around all day
It's a beautiful life!
My name is Hopper the grasshopper
Jumping over so much grass
I'd have a blast at soccer
I got six legs and five eyes, I'd be great at I-Spy
Two wings, so I fly like helicopter
I know we last long, see we came before the dinosaurs
We eat plants call us herbivores
Some species don't fly, they prefer the floor
But we still jump high like kangaroos on trampolines
Shaking leaves like tambourines
In some human cultures they try to eat us
Like we're tangerines on their dinner plates
As grasshoppers we stridulate
So we rub our back legs to make sound
Then we jump around
'Cause our legs are like catapults
Jumping 30 inches off the ground as adults
It's kind of crazy 'cause we're just so small
It's like a human jumping across a field of football
Jump around, jump around all day
Jump around all night
Jump around, jump around all day
It's a beautiful life!
Jump! Jump!
Some people try to squoosh me
I'm jumping off my tooshie
Jump! Jump!
Some people try to bug me -
I'm not even a bug
When I'm scared I'm not peeing my pants
We can eat toxins and poisonous plants
So others can't eat us
And to protect from predators
We spit brown liquid - no need for a janitor
Some camouflage 'cause anything can occur
With our six feet it's a feat to get a pedicure
"Mr. Hopper, do you have kids now?"
My Lady laid 300 eggs in a season!
On our stomachs is where we hear things
And when my tummy growls
I call that my ear ring
We jump and we jump, hop and we hop
Run and we run, and never will stop
Until the day goes, you know how our saying goes
Jump around, jump around all day
Jump around all night
Jump around, jump around all day
It's a beautiful life!
Jump! Jump!
Some people try to squoosh me
I'm jumping off my tooshie
Jump! Jump!
Some people try to bug me -
I'm not even a bug
All right, everyone, please say goodbye to Mr. Hopper
And children, don't forget we have
A test on Lepidoptera next Tuesday!
It's a beautiful life!
Sit down, everyone

Jump around, jump around all day
Jump around all night
Jump around, jump around all day
