Lyrics

Well some folks think that I like sitting down here upon this lily pad
They think frogs can’t get angry and they think frogs can’t get sad
While I am here and sure as shucks I'm here to tell ya’ that ain’t true
For I can burn as red as mad and turn as sad as blue

Oh I look up and see the clouds as they go rolling by
I wish that I could be a bird way up there in the sky
But I’m a frog (but I'm a frog)
But I’m a frog (but I'm a frog)
Froggy went a courtin’ and he did ride
Froggy went a courtin’ and he did ride
uh huh

Now if I had a nickel for each time I gazed above
And wished I were a bird of feathers just like those turtle doves
Well I’d be rich enough that I could build my own plane with wings
And I’d fly it straight up to the sky with those chicken dinosaur flying things

I look to the stars and see the moon as she rolls by
I wish that I could be a bird way up there in the sky
But I’m a frog (but I'm a frog)
But I’m a frog (but I'm a frog)

Froggy went a courtin’ and he did ride
Froggy went a courtin’ and he did ride
uh huh

Now we’re all gonna get down real low on our lily pads. Pick something on the floor to jump on and that’s your lily pad. Now pick another something on the floor and jump over there. That’s your other lily pad.
Let’s all jump around our lily pads!

1-2-3-4
Froggy went a courtin’ and he did ride
Froggy went a courtin’ and he did ride
uh huh

I was born the way I was right here beneath this log
And so I live my whole life in this pond where I am frog
Yeah I’m a frog (I'm a frog)
Oh I'm a frog (I'm a frog)

Hey, you know something? It’s actually kind of nice down here on these lily pads. The sun shining on the water, the flowers, the flies.....why, I might take a nice nap and leave that flying to the birds......it ain't so bad bein' a frog.....
