This is a fun song to do with a Cub Scout pack or den. It is full of boy humor. Make sure you get the parents to sing along also. That makes it really fun for the youth.
I can’t really describe the tune. Hopefully someone in your group will know how it goes. If not, just make up your own tune!
The Little Green Frog Song Lyrics
Um ah, went the little green frog one day
Um ah, went the little green frog
Um ah, went the little green frog one day
His eyes went um and ah.
Honk honk, went the big red truck one day
Honk honk went the big red truck
Squish squash, went the little green frog that day
Squish squash went the little green frog
His eyes didn’t go um ah anymore
Cause he got eaten by a dog!
Woof Woof!
Actions for the Little Green Frog Song
When you sing um ah, open and close your hands like eyes opening and shutting.
When you sing honk honk make the universal sign for a truck driver honking his horn.
When you sing squish squash, put your hands together like you are squashing something.

Songs are a fun way to add some fun to a meeting or to get everyone involved in a campfire program.
This is one of our FAVORITES! The boys love to do it… and it never gets old! Our version is a little different…we say:
Va-roomp(not sure how to spell that) went the little green frog one day
Va-roomp went the little green frog
Va-roomp went the little green frog one day (each time we say the firs three lines we jump from side to side like hopping frogs)
And his eyes went blink blink blink (make flashing motion with hands each beside eyes)
Honk Honk went the great big truck one day
KIRSPLAT!!! went the little green frog
and his eyes didn’t go blink blink anymore (motions beside eyes)
cause his eyes got eaten by a frog
Ruff Ruff (arms straight out in front of you making a BIG mouth chomping motion)
That should have said *eyes got eaten by a DOG
and you slap your hands together and say KIRSPLAT really loud!
Oh my, that’s awful! Haha, but so funny!
This has been a fav since our scout leader did it at a summer camp about 10 years ago, but we do it slightly differently, the chorus is the same but we use different verses
but we know frogs go
splat (clap hands) on the motorway
splat on the motorway
splat on the motorway
they don’t go uh uh um
frizzzz in the liquidiser
pop in the microwave
squish when you step on them
bleurgh when you tickle them
(freeze on the spot) in the freezer
Bang in the oven
Cause he got lapped* by a dog
