Barney was a bashful bullfrog but he was very sad All day long he sat upon his great big lily pad Now Barney never had a girl because he was too shy So when evening rolled around the tears would dim his eyes And he’d go…
Ow ow ow ow Croaking all night long Ow ow ow ow It was a lonesome song
And though the moon was shining bright, romance never found him Barney the Bashful Bullfrog was too shy to look around him Then one day he was sitting on a hollow log Hopping down the path he saw a pretty lady frog She had such a lovely smile and great big eyes of blue And when she stopped and winked at him he didn’t know what to do
She went… ow ow ow ow As his face turned red Ow ow ow ow
The lady frog then said “You have such a manly voice the kind of which I’m fond of Why don’t we croak together beside the lily pond
And so they spent their days together on the lily pad And though he was too shy to show it Barney was so glad And every night when fireflies came out to look around, they would hear them Singing together on the lily pond
They went: ow ow ow ow
Their voices rang so clear and everyone could hear them And so they sang together each night on the shore and Barney the Bashful bullfrog wasn’t bashful anymore
Now Barney was so bashful he wouldn’t pop the question And so they finally married at the lady frog’s suggestion They were so happy as they swam around the mud hole It wasn’t long before they had a lot of little tadpoles
They went: squeak squeak squeak
It was a happy tune And if you open up your eyes you’ll be happy too Like Barney the Bashful Bullfrog you’ll find someone for you
