Old nell's last croak

She were a good old soul her

they simply don't come better

I was squatting right by her side

when an owl came and ate her

+

She'd be the first to leap to your aid

shared her gnats with the needy

kind of ironic that she fell prey

to an owl who was just plain greedy

+

There was no time to say goodbye, no

nor even a chance to kiss her

e're fate swooped down from the sky

boy I am going to miss her

+

She was the best croak in this town

for gossip there was no-one better

to think I was there by her side

when an owl came and ate her.

Freddy the flying frog, not

A frog is not a butterfly

but oh if I had wings

I'd squabble with the sparra's

and do amazing things

+

O'er the housetops I would soar

the kids would all point at me

"a bird with a shiny green jacket"

you'd hear them shout with glee.

+

Wind beneath keeping me aloft

over dales and fields and streams

the earth below me, what a view!

hovering, me, fulfilling my dreams.

+

But leaping from my lilypad

is the closest I will get

to that feeling of heady euphoria

so my dreams I had better forget.

Froggy etiquette

A lady frog what's got no manners

will never find a mate

she has to learn politeness

if she's to get a date (ribbit ribbit)

+

She really must get etiquette

for men frogs can be picky

if she don't hop all dainty

courting will be tricky (ribbit ribbit)

+

So sister frogs it's down to you

if you would find romance

you have to act and talk all posh

or you won't stand a chance (ribbit ribbit)

WOO WOO

A lady frog can get lonesome

on her lilypad, woo woo

sitting on her ownsome

and feeling rather sad, woo woo

+

Waiting for her froggy prince

it really will not do, woo woo

if he hopped by this moment since

he would only make her blue, woo woo

+

For men frogs are not faithful peeps

they shoot a gal the line, woo woo

their promises they never keeps

they leave her there to pine, woo woo

Mr. President

A frog is not a pretty thing

his talents are not many

he doesn't dance, he cannot sing

and gags he knows not any

but a frog may make president

and if you think that it's a joke

next time we're in a crisis

turn on telly and watch him croak

I am a frog

My tiny webbed feet are frozen

this isn't the life I'd have chosen

but I am a frog

an' I live in a bog

so what is the use in supposin'?

HAUTE CUISINE

+

Tadpoles in the frying pan

oh what a lovely treat

lightly fried in butter

they're a delicacy to eat
