The chorus frogs in the big lagoon

Would sing their songs to the silvery moon.

tenor singers were out of place,

For ever frog was a double bass.

but never a human chorus yet

Could beat the accurate time they set.

the solo singer began the joke; 

He sang, "As long as i'll coak,

Croak, I'll croak,"

And the chorous followed him: "Croak, croak, croak!"
