Help Me Out Here, People!

Art Camp (our VBS) starts tomorrow, and I am up for everything this year (singing, art sessions, stories, etc). I want to teach the kids one of my favorite songs from childhood, but I can't remember all the words. Who can fill in the blanks of this song:

If I were butterfly, I'd thank the Lord that I could fly
and if I were a fish in the sea I'd wiggle and I'd giggle and I'd squiggle with glee
and if I were a kangaroo, I'd hop right over and da da da
but I just thank you Lord for making me, me

For you gave me a heart
you gave me a smile
you gave me Jesus and
you made me his child
so I just thank you Lord for making me me

If I were . . . . da da da da I know there's a second verse somewhere
I know there's a worm and couple other things that I can't remember and they do some stuff
I know there's one more line right here but I don't know just what it is
but I just thank you Lord for making me, me

I know my second verse scans, but I don't think it would go over that well, so I'd really love it if someone could give me the rest of the words.

1. If I were a butterfly, I'd thank You, Lord, for giving me wings -
And if I were a robin in the tree, I'd thank You, Lord, that I could sing -
And if I were a fish in the sea, I'd wiggle my tail and I'd giggle with glee, but

Chorus
I just thank You, Father, for making me 'me'.
For You gave me a heart and You gave me a smile,
You gave me Jesus and You made me Your child,
And I just thank You, Father, for making me 'me'.

2. If I were an elephant, I'd thank You Lord, by raising my trunk -
And if I were a kangaroo, I'd just hop right up to You -
And if I were an octopus, I'd thank You, Lord, for mine fine looks, but

Chorus

3. If I were a wiggly worm, I'd thank You, Lord, that I could squirm -
And if I were a billy goat, I'd thank You, Lord, for my strong throat -
And if I were a fuzzy-wuzzy bear, I'd thank You, Lord, for my fuzzy-wuzzy hair, but

Thanks Jill for the words on your site. Holy Spirit brought up a few this morning to me in Anchorage, Alaska and I looked for the chorus.
