The Hibbity Hobbity Bobbity Frog


The hibbity hobbity bobbity frog

Hip-hopped his way on a bobbity log,

Tried for a bug with an umpity jump,

But missed and he fell on his bumpity rump.

Said the buzzity bug to the bobbity frog,

“Go get back up on your rotteny log.

No bobbity frog or poochity pug

Could get THIS here bizzity buzzity bug!”

As it bizzed and it buzzed and it hummed and it sung,

The frog shot his ribbity rubbery tongue,

His tongue hit the bug and it certainly stuck,

But before it was eaten, the bug shouted “Dang”
