"DON'D FEEL TOO BIG!"
- A Frog vas a-singing von day in der brook
- (Id vas beddher, mine friends, you don'd feel too big!),
- Und he shvelled mit pride, und he say, "Shust look;
- Don'd I sing dhose peautiful songs like a book?"
- (Id vas beddher, mine friends, you don'd feel too big!)
- A fish came a-shvimming along dot vay
- (Id vas beddher, mine friends, you don'd feel too big!);
- "I'll dake you oudt off der vet," he say;
- Und der leedle froggie vas shtowed avay.
- (Id vas beddher, mine friends, you don'd feel too big!)
- A hawk flew down und der fish dook in
- (Id vas beddher, mine friends, you don'd feel too big!);
- Und der hawk he dink dot der shmardest vin
- Vhen he shtuck his claws in dot fish's shkin.
- (Id vas beddher, mine friends, you don'd feel too big!)
- A hunter vas oudt mit his gun aroundt
- (Id vas beddher, mine friends, you don'd feel too big!),
- Und he say vhen der hawk vas brought to der groundt,
- Und der fish und der leedle frog vas foundt,
- "It vas beddher, mine friends, you don'd feel too big!"
