Frog Song

- Na-noo went the little green frog one day,
- Na-noo went the little green frog!
- Na-noo went the little green frog one day,
- So we all went na-noo-na!
- Now we know frogs go: la-dee-da-dee-da, la-dee-da-dee-da,

Thanks to Helen Stallybrass, who sent me this version of the song. She writes:
"This is a verse that we always use to finish the frog song with our Brownies.
It is very popular with them as they make as much noise stamping clapping and
generally being Brownies as possible!"
- Shh, shh went the Brownie Guide one day
- Shh, shh went the Brownie Guide
- Shh, shh went the Brownie Guide one day
- So they all went shh, shh, shh
- But we know Brownies make lots of noise,
make lots of noise, make lots of noise.
- They don’t go shh, shh, shh
