"Mowfly"

Once upon a time
A frog was resting in the sun
He was humming a funny rhyme
When he got up to run
A look of fear was on his face
He said,”Oh dear Oh my”
“My steps I know I must retrace”
And he began to cry
Mowfly lost his fancy shoes
It was his only pair
He was about to sing the blues
Then jumped into the air
Mowfly knew where he should start
Whenever he was sad
Singing a song inside his heart
Would always make him glad
Ribbit-Ribbit-Ribbit
Words we all can sing
Ribbit- Ribbit- Ribbit
Has a pleasant ring
The frog ran into Shelly Squirrel
And said,” Oh please, oh please”
“I’m so glad I found you girl.”
“Are my shoes in these trees?”
“Of course not!” Shelly Squirrel replied
“These trees belong to me!”
I think I know where shoes would hide.”
“So come with me and see.”
"I have a friend around the bend"
Shelly said to frog
“Losing shoes is not the end”
“And she lives in a log”
Mowfly had to sing a song
A simple melody
And with a friend to sing along
It made them both happy
Ribbit-Ribbit-Ribbit
Words we all can sing
Ribbit- Ribbit- Ribbit
Has a pleasant ring
Together they found Miss Raccoon
Planting flowers with a spoon
She said, "I heard your catchy tune”
“How do you do? I’m Miss Raccoon."
“Miss Raccoon I hope you care”
Mowfly had to say
“I lost my shoes, I don’t know where"
"Someplace along the way"
“I can help” the raccoon said
“I know just where to look”
“I’m done in my flower bed!”
“So let’s look in my book”
The book was big shinning in gold
When she said, “Please be bold”
“With happy thoughts we find our way”
“Now you know what to say”
Ribbit-Ribbit-Ribbit
Words we all can sing
Ribbit- Ribbit- Ribbit
Has a pleasant ring
Mowfly opened up the book
His heart was pure and true
He gave raccoon a puzzled look
Not knowing what to do
“Do not cry” Raccoon said
"Love always gives us hope"
Mowfly laughed and turned his head
He smelled flowers and soap
“Yes”, the frog cried in the air
“A mystery no more”
“I didn’t wear my shoes today”
“Because my feet were sore”
“Miss Raccoon you are so right”
Mowfly said with glee
Shelly squirrel laughed in delight
And said, “Come sing with me”
Ribbit-Ribbit-Ribbit
Words we all can sing
Ribbit- Ribbit- Ribbit
Has a pleasant ring
“Here they are inside my pack”
The frog said in relief
Removing the pack from his back
Losing all his grief
They started dancing all around
It was a pretty sight
All because the shoes were found
Now things would be alright
Shelly Squirrel was singing
As lovely as can be
Miss Raccoon was clapping
To a happy melody
Mowfly was a happy frog
Singing a song he knew
Sitting next to a tree log
His words were very few
Ribbit-Ribbit-Ribbit
Words we all can sing
Ribbit- Ribbit- Ribbit
Has a pleasant ring
