But they ain't got nothin' on me, this pond's my runway stage
Now the turtles tap in time, to the rhythm of my hops
And maybe Herbert the heron, looks kinda sleek and young
Bulging eyes that never miss a juicy fly to milk
Muscles rippling, a croak that's pure delight
Woke up this mornin', sun hittin' my back
Even the grumpy catfish, can't help but raise an eye
Sure, there's Brenda down the lane, with her long and sticky tongue
The newts all wanna date me, the tadpoles wanna play
This frog right here, is a truly magnificent sight
Hopped down to the pond, for a pre-breakfast snack
He puffs out his chest, adjusts his tie, a microphone in hand
There's no frog in the pond, who's quite as fine as they say
Even the wise old bullfrog, he admits I'm tops
Just remember this frog's story, and the beauty you forgot
Sunrise paints the lily pads, mist hangs in the air
Cause even a humble frog, can be the fairest in the lot!
A symphony of crickets chirp, a bullfrog takes the chair
The ladybugs they swoon, the dragonflies they sigh
Not on a throne, mind you, but on a lily pad so grand
Oh, this pond's got style, and I'm leadin' the way
Confidence is key, my friends, believe it or not
With a wink and a smile, I turn heads every day
And every day's a fashion show, where beauty takes the stage
Such a sight for sore eyes, the most handsome frog you'll see
So next time you're feelin' low, like you ain't all that hot
Took a peek in the water, nearly fainted with glee
Emerald skin, webbed feet like gloves of silk
