Music for the Week: 

Croak, Said the Frog

Croak said the frog,

(Make croaking sound)

With his golden eyes.

(Fists up to eyes)

Sitting on a lily pad,

Catching flies.

(Grab air with hand)

I have a sticky tongue,

(With index finger make darting motion)

It’s as FAST as can be.

I catch the mosquitoes, 1-2-3

Leprechaun Song (sung to I'm a Little Teapot) 

I'm a little leprechaun
Dressed in green,
The tiniest man
That you ever seen.
If you ever catch me, so it's told,
I'll give you my pot of gold.
