One day my best friend

Barbara turned into a frog

A hoppin' and a jumpin'

On every rock and log

Now she stays at home all day

And all she wants to do

Is go swimming in the river

And in her bathtub too

And it's ribitt in the morning

Ribitt every night

Ribitt when it's dark outside

Ribitt when it's light

Her clothes don't fit her anymore

Though she was always short

No babysitter will sit for her;

They're afraid of getting warts

She doesn't eat her breakfast

She says she'd rather die

Instead she goes out to catch gnats

And bees and flies

And it's ribitt in the morning

Ribitt every night

Ribitt when it's dark outside

Ribitt when it's light

She's got a voice that's kind of scratchy

She's got lots of funny bumps

But you should see her play basketball;

You should see the way she jumps

Now she sits in school

And while the other kids make jokes

My best friend Barbara sits

On the desk and croaks

And it's ribitt in the morning

Ribitt every night

Ribitt when it's dark outside

Ribitt when it's light

And it's ribitt in the morning

Ribitt every night

Ribitt when it's dark outside

Ribitt when it's light

And it's ribitt in the morning

Ribitt every night

Ribitt when it's dark outside

Ribitt when it's light
