This song is about a frog,
Sitting (of course) on a log.
She/He is a solitary frog,
looking for a boy/girl frog.
She’s/He’s waiting for a date,
Chances aren’t great,

and arrive on a plate,
So to while away the wait,
in a voice that croaks her/his fate

Please let him/her come soon.
We would have a ...
Underneath the moon.
Just a little ...
lasting from dusk till dawn,
and then wha’d ya know?
Hey presto: frog-spawn!
