We Know Frogs Go (Jump Jump Went The Little Green Frog)

A silly song with actions.
This is a modern nursery rhyme of unknown origin that has many variations. It can also be sung to the tune of ‘The Big Ship Sails on the Alley Alley Oh’ with the ‘Tra la la’s’ taking the place of the ‘Alley oh’s’.
You can add any animals you like for the following verses but for this version I chose a mouse, horse, rabbit and elephant.

The frog is signing with makaton.

There is also a version know as the mmm mmm frog or the mm ah frog, where instead of jumping, the frog says mm ah. The tra la la’s can also be swapped for lardi daa’s.

Lyrics:

jump jump went the little green frog one day
jump jump went the little green frog
jump jump went the little green frog one day and his eyes went blink blink blink

jump jump when the little green frog one day
jump jump went the little green frog
jump jump went the little green frog one day and his tongue went bluegh bluegh bluegh

but we know frogs go (clap) tra la la la la
clap) tra la la la la
we know frogs go (clap) tra la la la la
they don't go  bluegh bluegh bluegh

scurry scurry when the little white mouse one day
and his nose went sniff sniff sniff.
but we know mice go (clap) tra la la la la
clap) tra la la la la
we know mice go (clap) tra la la la la
they don't go sniff sniff sniff

clip clop when the little brown horse one day
and his tail went swish swish swish
but we know horses go (clap) tra la la la la
clap) tra la la la la
we know horses go (clap) tra la la la la
they don't go clip clop clip

hop hop when the little bunny one day
and her ears went flip flop flip
but we know ribbits go (clap) tra la la la la
clap) tra la la la la
we know rabbits go (clap) tra la la la la
they don't go hop hop hop

stomp stomp went the great big elephant one day
and his trunk went toot toot toot
but we know elephants go (clap) tra la la la la
clap) tra la la la la
we know elephants go (clap) tra la la la la
they don't go stomp stomp stomp
