Too Tall Frog




When I was a tadpole, I was such a sadpole

Because I was so different from my brothers

While I was a polywog, I never was a jollywog

I wanted to be like all of the others

But I never got my cruthers...



I was a too tall frog,

Always a too tall frog

Miserable and lonely all the time

Teased and tormented and treated like slime

I was a too tall frog

Caught in a too small bog

Everything I tried to do turned to crud

I sat upon my lilypad and felt like a dud

And all around the swimming hole, my name was 'Mud'

I was a too tall frog!



Then, one day it happened as it happens every Spring

The cranes and storks and kingfishers hungrily take wing

And fly to the nearest bog they find

And try to eat every frog they find

But this year, they got a big surprise

When I jumped out

I scared 'em right back into the sky!



Hooray for the too tall frog

Make way for the too tall frog

Everyone, including me, realised

There's plenty of practicality in being my size



Hooray for the too tall frog

Make way for the too tall frog

Suddenly and wonderfully, my life made sense

Now I don't mind that I'm inclined to be immense

And everyone who knows me now says I am a prince...



Not bad for a too tall...

I'm glad I'm a too tall...

Too tall frog!
