Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

Lyrics

Charlie sits on his lily pad
watching the world go by.
All his friends
on this little pond
know him by his name
he’s Charlie The Frog
And every day
on their way
home from school,
the children ask him why
they cry
“Leap Frog, Leap Frog,
Why don’t you leap?
God gave you everything, everything,
everything you need.”

Charlie just smiles as he waves good-bye
the children go on their way
he is content
unlike the other frogs
hopping from pond to pond
If I go,
with the other frogs
I might get lost, lost among the crowd
then who would I be?
I’d be just another frog
you see,

Chorus:
I like this pond
I like this lily pad
you see I’ve grown fond
of my life here on this pond

The herons are blue
I know each one by name
they fly here each Winter
from someplace called Maine

I like the willows that blow in the wind
the little tad poles beginning to swim
I like mosquitoes, but I don’t like flies
I don’t know why
they all cry,
“Leap Frog, Leap Frog,
Why don’t you leap?
God gave you everything, everything,
everything you need.”

Charlie sits on his lily pad
watching the sun slip down
he winks an eye
at the passers by
and quickly he replies
I am here, every minute
of every day
of every single year
you can always count on me
this is where I’ll be

Chorus:
I like this pond
I like this lily pad
you see I’ve grown fond
of my life here on this pond

The herons are blue
I know each one by name
they fly here each Winter
from someplace called Maine

It’s a small pond,
But it’s my pond
on this little pond
is where I belong
