Freddie Ferd

the

Friendly Frog

 

 

Want to have a lot of fun let's wander down the hill Then take that little sandy path down past that old-old mill The path will curve a little so watch each step you take You wouldn't want to slip and fall into that shimmering lake Now keep your eyes wide open cause soon you're going to see Freddie Ferd the Friendly Frog who'll perform for you and me He sings so very funny It's a rib-bit really low And as he sings that rib-bit song he dances to and fro      Listen - listen carefully Do you hear that pretty sound Freddie Ferd is up ahead on a stage that's small and round He loves to play the banjo when he does his music thing This frog is so fantastic he can play and dance and sing His woodsy friends come visit and join him in his act Some who play and some who dance and some who sing - in fact   Look - there on the fiddle It's little Ron Raccoon He does his bestest playing under light from old man moon And then there's Chickie Baby who dances - kicking high It's so much fun to watch them You'll laugh until you cry   The shoreline crowds with viewers to watch this wonderful show It starts at dusk each evening won't end while the moon's aglow   Freddie Ferd says - "Please come back" he wants you to attend He thinks you're very special

AND HE WANTS YOU FOR HIS FRIEND       = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =   "My Lemonade stand"  

 

 

I didn't know just what to do

one warm and sunny day

So I looked around for Mommy

to see what she would say

 

She said - "I have the answer

call a friend or maybe two

ask them what they're doing

would they like to play with you"

 

While waiting for my little friends

Mom made some lemonade

then put a table neath the tree

on the sidewalk in the shade

 

She also made a little sign

read - "Lemonade for Sale"

and tacked it to the big old tree

with a hammer and a nail

 

With pitcher on the table

and cups to pour it in

we watched for all the people

we were anxious to begin

 

My friends and I were thirsty

took sips from all we'd pour

You'll never guess what happened

the pitcher held no more

 

We tried to make some money

with lemonade so cold

But we just kept on a-drinkin'

empty pitcher - nothing sold
