The Frog’s Desire is a short humerous entertainment for a solo singer of either sex, accompanied by a bassoon (or two).

This song is about a frog,

Sitting (of course) on a log.

She/He is a solitary frog,

looking for a boy/girl frog.

She’s/He’s waiting for a date,

Chances aren’t great,

You hope they don’t get legless

and arrive on a plate,

So to while away the wait,

in a voice that croaks her/his fate

She/He sings of her/his dream téte à téte:

I’m hoping for a …

Please let him/her come soon.

We would have a …

Underneath the moon.

Just a little …

lasting from dusk till dawn,

and then wha’d ya know?

Hey presto: frog-spawn!
