Lyrics:
Five little speckled frogs
sat on a speckled log
eating some most delicious flies
yum yum
one jumped into the pool
where is was nice and cool
now there are four green speckled frogs
glub glub
Four little speckled frogs
sat on a speckled log
eating some most delicious flies
yum yum
one jumped into the pool
where is was nice and cool
now there are three green speckled frogs
glub glub
Three little speckled frogs
sat on a speckled log
eating some most delicious flies
yum yum
one jumped into the pool
where is was nice and cool
now there are two green speckled frogs
glub glub
Two little speckled frogs
sat on a speckled log
eating some most delicious flies
yum yum
one jumped into the pool
where is was nice and cool
now there is one green speckled frog
glub glub
One little speckled frog
sat on a speckled log
eating some most delicious flies
yum yum
he jumped into the pool
where is was nice and cool
now there are no green speckled frogs
glub glub
No little speckled frogs
sat on a speckled log
eating the most delicious flies
they all jumped out of the pool
where is was nice and cool
now there are five green speckled frogs
glub glub
