Frisky frog forgot to bathe So off he went, to the creek Alone in the water, he decided He’d be so clean, he’d squeak Silly squirrel, scattered his nuts Along the bank where Frog swam Sinking into the clearest water Frog told the squirrel he should scram Friendly fish whirled in the waves Swaying with the chug of the water Reminding Frog he was surely clean So he could visit the king’s daughter Bristly bear came across the ridge Rattling the leaves with his great paws The others saw him and left the creek Recalling the fierceness of his wide jaws Frisky frog went to visit the king While silly squirrel packed his lunch And, friendly fish worked up the nerve To glide by bristly bear – and on a hunch… They all thanked God for this water Where they finally met Mr. Otter!
