Speckled Frogs

 

Five little speckled frogs,
Sat on a speckled log,
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum yum!
One jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there were four green speckled frogs.
Glug glug!

Four little speckled frogs,
Sat on a speckled log,
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum yum!
One jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there were three green speckled frogs.
Glug glug!

Three little speckled frogs,
Sat on a speckled log,
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum yum!
One jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there were two green speckled frogs.
Glug glug!

Two little speckled frogs,
Sat on a speckled log,
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum yum!
One jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there was one green speckled frog.
Glug glug!

One little speckled frog,
Sat on a speckled log,
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum yum!
He jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there were no green speckled frogs.
Glug glug!

Oh, no more speckled frogs,
Not one on the log,
No more frogs to sing this song,
All gone!
Each one took a dive,
And they’re swimming, feeling alive,
Down in the pool, oh how they thrive!
Splish splash!

The pool is full of frogs,
No more on the logs,
They’re happy in the water now,
Where they belong!
They croak a joyful tune,
Beneath the shining moon,
Singing together, with a happy swoon!
Ribbit ribbit!

Yum yum!
Ribbit ribbit!

Yum yum! Bugs in the air,
Snapping snacks without a care,
Glug glug! A bellyful treat,
Swimming ‘round with sticky feet!
Splish splash! They leap and play,
Ribbit ribbit! Night and day!

Yum yum! Glug glug!
They hop and hug,
Splish splash! In the bubbly bath,
Ribbit ribbit! Hear them laugh!
No more logs, just poolside cheer,
Froggies singing loud and clear:
Yum yum! Glug glug! Splish splash! Yum yum! Ribbit ribbit!
