[Verse 1]
In the evening when the sun goes down
Folks all hurry to the edge of town
At the bayou bank, they stand and wait in the clear there
Soon the water ripples catch their eye
And the ladies hush and breathe a sigh
On a lily pad, all dressed in white, he appears there
[Chorus]
And then he boogies up and down and shuffles right
Slips and splashes in the full moonlight
Alligators with their teeth so bright smile and sway there
And soon the loons are joining in the jamboree
Everybody's happy just like me
Watch him dance on that log
Yeesh, it's the Disco Frog!
[Verse 2; Kermit, The Girls, Both]
Through the day the swamp's a quiet place
Snails and salamanders set the pace
In the spider where the air is still like a trance there
Fireflies are twinkling white and green
There's a sudden crazy change of scene
And the star who's danced both far and wide comes to dance there
[Chorus]
And then he boogies up and down and shuffles right
Slips and splashes in the full moonlight
Alligators with their teeth so bright smile and sway there
And soon the loons are joining in the jamboree
Everybody's happy just like me
Watch him dance on that log
Yeesh, it's the Disco Frog!
[Verse 3]
Join us by that swampy waterside
Where we never have a thing to hide
And it makes you feel so good inside just to be there
While the stars are sparkling through the night
And the bayou moon is burning bright
Yes, it's quite the most amazing sight you can see there
[Chorus]
Because he boogies up and down and shuffles right
Slips and splashes in the full moonlight
Alligators with their teeth so bright smile and sway there
And soon the loons are joining in the jamboree
Everybody's happy just like me
Watch him dance on that log
Yeesh, it's the Disco Frog!
