1 Old Daddy Frog lives in a bog, And his coat is bottle-green; Yellow his vest; handsomely drest, His pretty shape is seen. Puffing with pride, there at his side His dame is sure to be. Smiling, he says, "No one could raise A finer family;" Chorus. Singing "Cou, cou, cou, Ker-chunk!" 2 Old Daddy Frog leaps on a log, In a spry and jaunty way; Calling his boys— Oh, what a noise! He joins them in their play. Hipperty-hop! Under they pop, And Daddy Frog, says he, "Isn't it fine? How they will shine, This polished family." 3 Old Daddy Frog lives in the bog Till the summer days are done; Little frogs grow, Dressed like a beau Now is each model son; Daddy Frog's eyes Wink with surprise, Quite filled with delight is he; Dame at his side Chuckles with pride, "There's no such family!"
