Lyrics
Watch Them Change ©2011 Janet Steely
V1:Pete and Patty Bull frog sitting' by the pond.
Proud as a peacock of their little pollywogs
CH: Watch them change, watch the metamorphosis
watch 'em change
V2: Proud Patty Bull frog is picture taking crazy.
Her pollywogs are changing right before her eyes.
CH: Watch them change, watch the metamorphosis
watch 'em change
V3: Papa is pondering the wee invertebrates
they don't look a thing like him, Mama cries"Just wait!"
CH: Watch them change , watch the metamorphosis
Watch 'em change
Bridge: They were like larval tadpoles swimming in the pond..
Before too long they will be hopping amphibians
CH: Watch them change , watch the metamorphosis
Watch 'em change. (Fading volume) Watch 'em change
watch 'em change
Production ideas: acoustic guitar with vocal/harmony (male/female together on chorus)
End:
"hey wait for us look both ways before you hop across that mud puddle. " .... "They grow up so fast don't they "
