Funny, funny froggie, don't run away!                                    A screech owl sitting in a tree, tree, tree,

Funny, funny froggie, stay and play!                                       Came after the frog with a scree, scree, scree.

When the frog heard the owl in a flash, flash, flash,

He jumped in the pond with a splash, splash, splash!
