Lyrics
We flew south for the winter, south for the winter
Every fall, we pack our things and go
We know just how to time it to find the proper climate
One that doesn't feature any snow
'Cause when it snows you shiver, and it's difficult to fly
There isn't any food, which is another reason why
We go south for the winter, south for the winter
But we're back! It's almost spring!
In spring, the weather's lovely
It elevates the mood
But even more important
There's a plentitude of food
So if you're feeling peckish
You can go for seconds
Even thirds
Winter's for the birds (no, it isn't)
It's an expression (oh)
Winter now is over
The snow has all been snowed
Spring is near, which starts a year
With frog and toad
Well, it's true folks, spring is almost here
The sun will be shining
The flowers will be growing
The birds will be chirping
(Chirp, chirpety chirp)
Here we have frog and over here we have toad
They are both at the end of a winter long hibernation
Let's take a peek in and see what they're dreaming about
I'd like to sing a little ode
About my good friend toad
Toad, with whom I frequently take tea
He's not so good at sports
And of course, he's got those warts, but
Toad has been a lovely friend to me
Toad I feel is vastly underrated
And furthermore I think misunderstood
And in conclusion, I will add
He is the finest friend of all the critters
In the neighborhood
I love a lively dialogue
With my good friend frog
Chatting over cozy cups of tea
He knows just the thing to say
That will brighten up my day, oh
Frog has been a lovely friend to me
Frog is very kindly in his nature
Magnanimous whenever playing host
Of all the creatures in my sphere of influence
I'm found to stop at frog the most
There is a frog
There is a toad
And he lives just down the road
There could be no better friend for me
Or me, it seems
Frog is the frog
Toad is the toad
Of my dreams
Hello toad!
Hello, frog!
What are you doing in my dream?
Oh, funny, I was about to ask you the same thing
Oh, well, it certainly is nice to see you!
I feel the same way, how has your winter been?
Well, I'm hibernating, so there isn't much to report
It's about the same for me, this is a very nice dream, though
Yes, it is
Well, I'm getting ready to wake up
So you'd better get back to your own dream
I'll see you when you wake up!
Yes, I'd better get back to hibernating
Spring is nearly here!
Oh, I think it's just around the corner
Birds?
The sun is out
The sky is clear
We came back
Spring's almost be here
So let's begin another year
A year with frog and toad
A year with frog and toad!
