*Pronounce 'frogue' like 'rogue.'

If a toad is a toad because it’s dry,
And a frog is a frog because it’s wet,
Put a toad in a pond,
Put a frog in the dirt,
Now tell me what do you get?

A frog is a frog,
A toad is a toad,
A toad is a frog,
A frog is a toad.

If a frogue is a frog and a frog,
And a tod is a toad and a toad,
Tell me what is a toad and a frogue,
And now what is a frog and a tod?

A toad is a frog
Is a toad in a bog,
But what on a sunny day?
A frog is a froad
Is a trog is a toad,
It doesn’t matter any way!

Could a frog ever love a toad?
Would it be too heavy a load
For amphibian society to bear,
For the frog to love him there?

Two frogues in a bog with a trog,
Three tods on a log by a frog,
And a toad and a froad make a hat:
A very absurd little hat.

Couldn’t the toad come into the wet,
Become a frog and acceptance get?
But if he was loved,
Just as a toad,
Could the pond,
Be their abode?
Would they be forced to leave the bog?
Or would they simply hide under the log?
For a frog is a frog is a frog.
