OP Anybody recognize this little snippet?
"What a queer bird the frog are.
When he sit, he stand, almost
When he walk, he fly, almost
When he sing, he cry, almost
And he ain't got no sense hardly,
Ain't got no tail hardly either.
He sit on what he ain't got hardly
What a queer bird the frog are."
My son was quite shocked when one day I quoted the first line. My recollection of its origin is lost in the mists of my antiquity, and somehow he had quite independently found (for his three-year-old kid) a CD with a song with these lyrics. He had no idea anyone else in the world could be familiar with it, least of all his own father.
Unfortunately neither of us has an attribution for it. His record says only "Author unknown. We learned this from Carla Sciaky."
It has a certain strangeness and charm (though it isn't a quark)...
Google doesn't help. I haven't put it up on eMule yet, thinking it's the right kind of whimsy for us to enjoy for a while...
[Edit: Sorry, should have been a question, not a note]
