Five Little Speckled Frogs Lyrics

Five little speckled frogs sitting upon a log
eating a most delicious bug, yum, yum!
One jumped into the pool, where it was nice and cool.
Then there were four green speckled frogs.

Four little speckled frogs sitting upon a log eating a most delicious bug, yum, yum!

Then there were three green speckled frog.
