A short humorous entertainment for a solo singer of either sex, accompanied by a bassoon (or two).
Listen to a performance:
This song is about a frog,Sitting (of course) on a log.She/He is a solitary frog,looking for a boy/girl frog.
She’s/He’s waiting for a date,Chances aren’t great,You hope they don’t get leglessand arrive on a plate,
So to while away the wait,in a voice that croaks her/his fateShe/He sings of her/his dream tête à tête:
I’m hoping for a …Please let him/her come soon.We would have a …Underneath the moon.
Just a little …lasting from dusk till dawn,and then wha’d ya know?Hey presto: frog-spawn!
