9. Croak-a-Ribit

Written by Steve Van Zandt

Oh, I’m glad I am a frog (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
Just a sitting on a log (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
The most delightful bugs they fly around me (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
I put out my sticky tongue (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
And I catch me one (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
A froggy’s life is the best life there can be.

CHORUS:
Croak croak a ribbit
Croak croak a ribbit
Croak croak a ribbit, hop, hop

I used to be a pollywog (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
Now I’m a fat green frog (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
Everywhere I wear my froggy grin (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
Salamander wears a smile (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
The toad he croaks in style (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
You can call us all amphibians
CHORUS

I have pores in my skin (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
They help me breathe when I jump in (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
Into the pond where I swim all afternoon (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
But the time I really like (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
Is the pale moon light (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
When me and my friends can sing this froggy tune
CHORUS

So if you’re looking for a friend (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
Come to the pond and jump right in (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
Bring your smile and your froggy flipper feet (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
If you grow some bulging eyes (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
And you’re hungry for some flies (croak a ribbit, hop hop)
Then you’ll be hoppin’ to this froggy beat.
CHORUS

"The best thing about Banana Slug String Band albums? An adult can listen to them [i]almost[/i] as many times as the kids want them played and not experience an urge to strangle a purple dinosaur.
