The Frog Song!


For those of you who don't know, the kid's and I have been going to a great story time each Wednesday morning at a Border's bookstore close to our home. At the end of each half hour, the 'teacher' says something like this:
Miss Cora: And our very last song of the day is what??
The kids: THE FROG SONG! (Jayden is especially loud for this part.)
Miss Cora: That's right! Now let's see who has on their froggy green... (She'll then look around the room and name every frog green thing that a child has on. As you can see, Jayden has on his frog green shirt that I bought especially with storytime in mind.)
Miss Cora: Ok, now everyone scrunch up your faces like this (she scrunches up her face really tight), then open your eyes and mouth really wide and stick out your tongue like this! Now make big googly eyes with your hands and let's sing:
Everyone: MMM-AAGH! Went the little green frog one day.
MMM-AAGH! Went the little green frog.
MMM-AAGH! Went the little green frog one day, and his eyes went MMM-MMM-UUH!
(And, coincidentally, this song was sung at a college freshman BBQ we were required to go to at Multnomah the very first time Adam and I ever saw each other. The rest is history!)
