The Polliwog





words and music by Glyn Lehmann





CHORUS



Have you ever seen a polliwog

Hiding in the water underneath a log

Lurking in the shadows

Growing every day

I hope I never see a polliwog!

No I never want to see a polliwog!





Verse 1



Someone said they saw a polliwog

Down at the waterhole chasing a dog

It had no arms and it had no legs

A long swishy tail and a great big head





CHORUS







Verse 2



Someone said they saw a polliwog

Down at the waterhole chasing a dog

It had two arms and two short legs

A short stumpy tail and a great big head





CHORUS







Verse 3



Someone said they saw a polliwog

Down at the waterhole chasing a dog

It had a round body and two long legs

And big bulgy eyes on the top of its head





Coda A



I began to wonder about the polliwog

Why was it changing, could it chase a dog?

Although I was frightened

I must be brave

I really want to see a polliwog

Yes I really want to see a polliwog!





Coda B



Down at the waterhole with my dog

I went looking for the polliwog

Waiting by the water sitting on a log

Up jumped a little green frog



(spoken) And it chased my dog! Woof!
