There’s a little green frog swimming in the water
A little green frog, doing what he oughter
He jumped right off of the lily pad
That the little duck bit and he said, “I’m glad
I’m a little green frog swimming in the water
Glump glug, glump glug, glump glug glug”

There’s a little black bug floating on the water
A little black bug doing what he oughter
He tickled the frog on the lily pad
That the little duck bit and he said, “I’m glad
I’m a little black bug floating on the water

Chirp bzz, chirp bzz, chirp bzz bzz”

There’s a little red snake playing in the water
A little red snake doing what he oughter
He frightened the duck and the frog so bad
He ate the little bug and he said, “I’m glad
I’m a little red snake laying in the water
Wriggle hiss, wriggle hiss, wriggle hiss hiss”

Now there’s nobody left sitting in the water
Nobody left doing what he oughter
There’s nothing left but the lily pad
The duck and the frog ran away, I’m sad
‘Cause there’s nobody left sitting in the water
Boo, boo, boo
