Once there was a Toad and Frog who sat upon a hollow log

catching flies and munching them all day.

Said the Toad to the Frog, "Why do we sit on this log?

Isn't is more fun to go and play?"


Splash went the water as the Toad jumped in.

Jumping from the lily pad he took a swim.

He yelled Hey Frog the water's fine.

C'mon jump in and we'll have a good time.


The Frog he said "Hey Toad you know we got to catch more flies so

our bellies will be full for a while."

The Toad he said, "Oh pffffffft to that, playing around is where it's at."

He winked and splashed and gave the Frog a smile.


The Toad went off to play and the Frog stayed where he was.

Catching flies with his ol' tongue cos that is what he does.

The Frog he stayed and ate his flies until he had his fill.

But somewhere out in the pond the Toad is splashing still.


And now the day is ending and the little Frog is sending

out a 'ribbit' for his friend the Toad to hear.

Just swim yourself on back my friend, the day is nearly at an end

and darkness of the night is almost here.


The Frog he settles in for a long evening nap.

The Toad is huffin' and puffin' as he swims on back.

Said the Toad "I'm hungry is there anything to eat?"

No there's not. You played so long the flies have gone to sleep!


So now the Toad is hungry and there's nothing in his tummy.

He played too long and didn't catch his flies.

He should have listened to the Frog and stayed out there upon the log.

Man that old Frog is sure wise. Oh yah. Man that old Frog is sure wise!
