ALL ABOUT FROGS
A frog is something like a toad,
Only he lives down by the road
Where there's a pond and lily pads,
And toads, they live in folk's back yards.
Only he lives down by the road
Where there's a pond and lily pads,
And toads, they live in folk's back yards.
A toad is fat, a frog is lean,
The suit he wears is always green,
Except his vest, and that is yellow,
And he's a mighty funny fellow.
The suit he wears is always green,
Except his vest, and that is yellow,
And he's a mighty funny fellow.
Sometimes he sits beside a pad
And smiles at you, like he was glad,
And then he goes down in kerplunk,
And kicks around like he was drunk
And smiles at you, like he was glad,
And then he goes down in kerplunk,
And kicks around like he was drunk
And when you think he's surely drowned,
He's gone so long, you look around
And you will see him on a stone,
A catchin' flies and havin' fun.
He's gone so long, you look around
And you will see him on a stone,
A catchin' flies and havin' fun.
Sometimes I poke him with a stick
To see him jump, he goes so quick,
So very quick, I do declare
You cannot see him in the air.
To see him jump, he goes so quick,
So very quick, I do declare
You cannot see him in the air.
But some bad boys throw stones at him
And he gets killed, if he don't swim
Down out of sight, and quiet stay
Until the bad boys go away.
And he gets killed, if he don't swim
Down out of sight, and quiet stay
Until the bad boys go away.
