Softly there, my friend!
That must on other sovereign powers depend.

For such a plunge this pit may be too deep,
A frog like you should look before you leap.

“Do as you would be done by,” is a rule
As golden as was ever taught at school.
King.
Let the Frog save us, as we tried to save her.
Queen.
By jumping here, at once, into your favour.
Finale—“Green grow the rushes, O.”
Prin.
Remove our cares with kindly hand,
And view whatever passes O,
In this our mimic fairy-land,
But through good-nature's glasses O.
Come here in masses O,
Patrons of all classes O;
And fill our rows to overflows,
With merry lads and lasses O.

In this our mimic fairy-land,
But through good-nature's glasses O.

Patrons of all classes O;
And fill our rows to overflows,
With merry lads and lasses O.

When all the world shall crowding be,
The monster Exhibition O,
Form Monster Meetings here to see
Our Monsters in addition O!

Swiss, Dutch, and Prussian O,
Come fill our rows to overflows,
And never mind the crushing O.

Let no stern critics us poor frogs
Come, like King Stork, to diddle O;
Be nice, good-natured, dear King Logs,
And play “frog in the middle” O!

We'll sing, and dance, and fiddle O;
Come fill our rows to overflows,
All round and down the middle O.
