It croaks all day long
short bodied amphibian
that's stuck in my throat
I sat under an oak tree in fall
I must have fell asleep I recall
I awoke on a boat
with a frog in my throat
an elephant making a trunk call.

Ehem, ribbit ribbit
Ribbit ribbit ribbit-
A frog in my throat.
I've got butterflies in my stomach,
A frog in my throat,
Cat's got my tongue,
And someone's got my goat.
I'm as sly as a fox,
But as blind as a bat.
I'm as silly as a goose.
Now what do you think of that?
The cat on my tongue is after the frog in my throat
I put the counted chickens all in one basket before they hatched
Broke a pulled leg, woke up on the wrong side of the bed
And I still saw right through you
