There was an old frog named Hobbity
Who liked to lay on a lily pad and bobbity

He’d sway with the ripples, on the lake
Basking in the sun, a joy to partake

He disliked the winter, and all the snow
Waiting for spring, to put on a show

For all the lady frogs, who’d hop on by
Hoping to make them swoon and sigh

But days went by too slowly for Hobbs
Impatient, was he, this old frog

So he jumped in, through the ice
Paid a terrible price!

Now ole Hobbs and Fiona hobnob

To be read as the famous green frog we all know and love  🙂


I’ve drowned myself
In a fountain of fizz
She left me this way
Such a diva, she is

All I can see
When I look around
Are bottles and bottles
Strewn on the ground

There’s one in my hand
And a pounding in my head
And an angry blonde glaring
Now, this I do dread

She said to remember
What I did just last night
But I think I forgot
And that gives me a fright

Did I behave like a toad?
It’s all a bit groggy
No wonder I’m feeling
A little bit froggy

I think that it’s best
To find my own way
I’ve turned a bit green
Though I like me this way

Back at the pond
I won’t drink anymore
Lest, again, my dear piggy
Finds me on the floor

Imagine that day

When she plants a kiss on me

And I become king

I shall sit here on this rose
And wonder why it is I chose

To live the life of a little green frog
Who spends his time in a muddy bog

Ponder what I’ve never had
This part makes me rather sad

Then smile and think, why not for me?
I’m really more than you can see

A princely chap, I don my crown
Of glittered gold, and sparkles round

Oh, to dream of love so true
Under skies of brilliant blue

When finally, I see her there
Wandering, without a care

I call to her, she doesn’t hear
How do I get her to come near?

To share with me, that fated kiss
And grant at last, my one true wish
