This weekend I was the storyteller for the Home and Garden Show in New Albany, MS. I wrote this fingerplay just for the event and the adults laughed harder than the children, so fun.
Hungry Old Bull frog
By Vicky C. Manning
Five little flies flying around the lilies.
Teasing old bullfrog, can’t zap me, can’t zap me
And there old bullfrog sat looking mighty silly
cause his eyes went this way, his eyes went that way
And he zapped a fly right off of the lilly.
Four little flies flying around the lilies.
Teasing old bullfrog, can’t zap me, can’t zap me
And there old bullfrog sat looking mighty silly
cause his eyes went this way, his eyes went that way
And he zapped a fly right off of the lilly.
Three little flies flying around the lilies.
Teasing old bullfrog, can’t zap me, can’t zap me
And there old bullfrog sat looking mighty silly
cause his eyes went this way, his eye went that way
and he zapped a fly right off the lilly.
Two little flies flying around the lilies.
Teasing old bullfrog, can’t zap me, can’t zap me
and there old bullfrog sat looking mighty silly
cause his eyes went this way, his eyes went that way
and he zapped a fly right off the lilly.
One little fly flying around a lilly.
Teasing old bullfrog can’t zap me, can’t zap me
and there old bullfrog sat looking mighty silly
cause his eyes went this way, his eyes went that way
and he zapped a fly right off the lilly.
No more flies are flying around the lillies
Teasing old bullfrog can’t zap me, can’t zap me
and old bullfrog is no longer looking silly
cause his tongue zapped this way, his tongue zapped that way
and he was full of flies on the lillies.
