"The green-life"   [a frog song]



the frog-life
    with its bog-life
        is alright!
the green-life
    with its keen-life
        is superb!
the bugs would never dare
    a frog to bite!
mosquitos fancy froggies?
      too absurd!
we go about our way
      befilled with song
our views are stark
    some say
      our feelings strong

the frog-life   with its bog-life   is delightful
the green life   with its keen life   is amazing
the bugs would never think to take a biteful
thus unmolested   we keep busy praising
we go about our way   our songs extend
so long as time   flows round the river bend

"to tell you all about it"   [a frog song]

O green am I!   O glad am I
    to tell you all about it!
quite keen am I   most mad am I
    the livelong day I shout it!
exact am I!   no platitude
    to tell you all about it!
intact am I   with attitude
    the livelong day I shout it!

how wise am I!   so clear am I
    to tell you all about it!
the lives all die   where fear have I
    the livelong day I shout it!
alive am I!   & deep am I
    to tell you all about it!
a'thriving? aye!   with weeping eye
    the livelong day I shout it!
extreme am I!   but circumspect
    to tell you all about it!
in dream am I   I recollect
    the livelong day I shout it!
so sad am I!   how glad am I
    to tell you all about it!
on pad am I   gone mad am I
    the livelong day I shout it!
