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 its ribitt in the morning, ribitt every night Ribitt when its dark outside, ribitt when its light Her clothes dont fit her anymore, though she was always short No babysitter will sit for her theyre afraid of getting warts She doesnt eat her breakfast, she says shed rather die Instead she goes out to catch gnats and bees and flies And its ribitt in the morning, ribitt every night Ribitt when its dark outside, ribitt when its light Shes got a voice thats kind of scratchy. Shes 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 its ribitt in the morning, ribitt every night Ribitt when its dark outside, ribitt when its light
