Habitat Adapted from original by: Kathe Goria Hendrickson & John Hendrickson Tune: Lolli-Pop, Lolli-Pop Well the underground is a habitat, a very special habitat. It s where the dirt is soft and wet.

I m a Little Frog Egg I m a little frog egg, Watch me hatch, please don t beg. I will be a tadpole soon, Think I ll wiggle out by noon. I m an egg. I m an egg. I m an e-g-g, egg! I swim and swim so much each day, Soon I ll be a frog, they say. Then in the pond I ll surely soak, You can hear me croak, and croak. I was an egg. I was an egg. I was an e-g-g, egg! Something s happening to me inside, My shape is changing; my tail is not so wide. Two front legs and two behind, it s true, Better watch out, I ll jump on you! Now I m a frog. Now I m a frog. Now I m a f-r-o-g, frog!
