Five Green and Speckled Frogs
Five green and speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious bugs, yum, yum! (rub stomach)
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there were four green speckled frogs, ribbit, ribbit
Repeat with4 green and speckled frogs...
3 green and speckled frogs...
2 green and speckled frogs... One green and speckled frog
Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious bugs, yum, yum! (rub stomach)
He jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there were no more green speckled frogs, ribbit, ribbit 

Five Little Frogs
(Tune: Five Little Ducks) 
Five little frogs that I once knew,
Green ones, brown ones, red ones, too.
But the one bullfrog with the freckles on his throat,
He ruled them all with a croak, croak, croak.
Down to the blue pond they would go,
Hop, jump, hop, jump, to and fro.
But the one bullfrog with the freckles on his throat,
He ruled them all with a croak, croak, croak.
(Can repeat and count down to one frog)
