THE FROG AND THE TURTLE

The Frog and the Turtle had a quarrel one day.
The Frog told the Turtle in a boastful way ...
I'll race you in swimming for to see who'll win;
Agreed said the Turtle and they jumped right in.

Chorus --
They both hit the water with an awful crash.
The frog went plunk and the turtle splash.
I never did believe it but the creek folks say
They heard the water splashing twenty miles away!

The Frog had a bathing suit of pretty green and
old Mr. Turtle in a black was seen.
Ahold takes the Turtle on the Frogs big toe,
The Frog kicks the Turtle on the short black nose.

They kicked all the water from the swimming hole,
and sank to the bottom in a mud left pool.
They each told the other with a painful face,
Take me out and wash me and you win the race!

Twenty froggies went to school, down beside a rushy pool,
Twenty little coats of green, twenty vests all white and clean.
"We must be in time", said they; "First we study, then we play;
That is how we keep the rule, when we froggies go to school."

Master Froggy, grave and stern, called the classes in their turn,
Taught them how to nobly strive; likewise how to leap and dive;
From his seat upon a log, showed them how to say "Kerchog!"
Also how to dodge a blow from the sticks which bad boys throw.

Twenty froggies grew up fast, big frogs they became at last;
Not one dunce among the lot; not one lesson they forgot;
Polished to a high degree, as each froggy ought to be,
Now they sit on other logs, teaching other little frogs.
