Five Little Speckled Frogs lyrics
Five little speckled frogs,
Sat on a speckled log,
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum yum!
One jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there were four green speckled frogs.
Glug glubg!
Four little speckled frogs,
Sat on a special log,
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum yum!
One jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there were three green speckled frogs.
Glug glug!
Three little speckled frogs,
Sat on a speckled log,
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum yum!
One jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there were two green speckled frogs.
Glug glug!
Two little speckled frogs,
Sat on a speckled log,
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum yum!
One jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there was one green speckled frog.
Glug glug!
One little speckled frog,
Sat on a speckled log,
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum yum!
He jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there were no green speckled frogs.
Glug glug!
