With his golden eyes.

It’s as fast as can be…
And I catch the mosquitoes
(catch bugs again)

(count on three fingers)
Four Little Frogs
One little frog balancing
On a lily pad of green.
He thought it was, so much fun,
He called for another frog to come.
Two little frogs balancing
On a lily pad of green.
They thought it was, so much fun,
They called for another frog to come.
Three little frogs balancing
On a lily pad of green.
They thought it was, so much fun,
They called for another frog to come.
Four little frogs balancing
On a lily pad of green.
They thought it was so much fun
Until they sank into the mud!
Glub, glub, glub!
I’m A Little Green Frog
(tune: “Little White Duck”)
I’m a little green frog, swimming in the water.
A little green frog doing what he ‘otter.
I jumped upon a lily pad
I caught a fly and I said, “I’m glad”.
I’m a little green frog, sitting in the sun.
Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!
I’m a little green frog, sitting in the sun.
A little green frog, having lots of fun.
I thought I saw a friend swim by
So I jumped in the water to say “hi”.
I’m a little green frog, swimming in the water.
Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!
