Gilbert and Lily At the Pond Picking-Up Frog's

If Gilbert and Lily put their feet in the pond
How much water up to the knees if they slip and fall
Oh, the yucky green algae green nasty moss
Stains the clothing green that the children wear
Oh,  my now Gilbert's eating the wild mushrooms and turnips
Smells like dirty fish water seaweed in their hair
My none of this they seem to be worried or even care
Clipping wild frogs off the lily pad 
that's all they need y'all
Yes they just acting like tomboys 
Having fun at the pond
Picking up them frogs!!!!!!!
