Wide Mouth Bullfrog & Friends

Mr. Froggy’s Family
Mr. Froggy went out one day.
He was looking for someone to play.
He met a nice girl frog,
And pretty soon they were sharing a log
The froggies were so happy. They wanted a family
They didn’t wait very long.
Now Mr. Froggy sings this song:
I love my tadpoles. See them swim.
My little amphibians. I’ll watch them grow
From polliwogs into adult frogs.
Ribbit. Ribbit. Croak. Croak. Croak.
Mr. Froggy’s family swam together happily
They’d play their favorite froggy game.
I’m sure your family does the same.
Mr. Froggy knew one day
His tadpoles would swim away
As he watched his family grow,
Mr. Froggy would let them know
I love my tadpoles. See them swim.
My little amphibians. I’ll watch them grow
From polliwogs into adult frogs.
Ribbit. Ribbit. Croak. Croak. Croak.
Five Little Speckled Frogs
Five little speckled frogs, sitting on a hollow log
Eating some most delicious bugs – yum, yum
One jumped into a pool where it was nice and cool
Now there’s just 4 little speckled frogs – glub glub
Four (all the way down to one)
One little speckled frog sitting on a hollow log
Eating some most delicious bugs – yum, yum
He jumped into a pool where it was nice and cool
Now there are no little speckled frogs – glub glub
Five Hoppy Frogs
1 hip-hoppy frog hopped along
He sang the froggy song – Ribbit 1 Frog
2 hip-hoppy frogs hopped along
They sang a froggy song – Ribbit 2 frogs

They sang the froggy song – Ribbit (3x) 3 Frogs
4 hip-hoppy frogs hopped along –Ribbit (4x)4Frogs
5 hip-hoppy frogs hopped along
They sing the froggy song (5 ribbits) Croak!
Frog on My Thumb
Got a frog on my thumb (2x).
And, unless another frog does come,
There’s just one frog on my thumb. Say “croak”
Frog moved to pointer from my thumb (2x).
Coz along another frog did come,
Now there’s a frog on my pointer and my thumb.
Frog moved to tall man from my thumb (2x).
Coz along another frog did come,
Now there’s a frog on tall man, pointer and thumb
Frog move to ring man from my thumb (2x).
Coz along another frog did come.
There’s frogs on ring man, tall man,
Pointer and thumb
Frog moved to pinky from my thumb (2x).
Coz along another frog did come.
There’s frogs on pinky, ring man, tall man,
pointer and thumb.
Frogs on all my fingers and thumb (2x).
No room for another from to come,
Coz there’s frogs on pinky, ring man, tall man.
pointer and thumb.
The Wide-mouthed Bullfrog
There once was a wide-mouthed bullfrog
Friendly as could be
He liked to hop around and talk
to any animal he’d see. He’d say,
“Hi. I’m a wide-mouthed bullfrog and I eat bugs. What do you eat?”
One day on his travels, he met a blue feathered bird.
He hopped along and sang his song. Sing with me each word.
“Hi. I’m a wide-mouthed bullfrog and I eat bugs. What do you eat?”
“I eat wiggly worms.” Said the bird.
“Oh” said the bullfrog and he hop, hop, hopped away.
Next he met a brown mouse, a cute, furry little thing.
He went real near the mouse’s ear and began to sing. He sang,
“Hi. I’m a wide-mouthed bullfrog and I eat bugs. What do you eat?”
“I eat seed and berries” said the mouse.
“Oh” said the bullfrog and he hop, hop, hopped away.
The frog went to the swamp saw a gator swimming around
The wide-mouthed frog jumped on a log and began to sound. He sang,
“Hi. I’m a wide-mouthed bullfrog and I eat bugs. What do you eat?”
“I eat wide-mouthed bullfrogs” said the gator flashing big teeth.
The bullfrog pulled his mouth real small and answered back real sweet,
“You don’t see many of them around here.”
And he hop, hop, hopped away!
