Company comes with no invitation.
I've got squatters! "Lil' green and brown.
They've made 'em a village. A poolside town!
There's big'uns, lil'uns, bloated 'n' skinny too
and they all come to party here... at Teapotters' pool!

They're croak'n 'n' float'n, snorkl'n 'n bask'n.
I ask 'em to hold it down 'n' how long this was last'n!
Then one with sunglasses says, "Hey man it's all cool.
We're just here for Winter break while the kids are outta school."

Then this one with goggles comes float'n to the top.
Looks like he's inflated. I think for sure he's gonna pop!
But pop he does not. He just HOPS outta the water 'n' grabs a napkin;
looks at me 'n' says, "Hey Pops! Whats happ'nin?"

I'm think'n, "Wait! All this stuff looks too familiar, when one with a pool cue says, "The sign says billiards!"
I tell''em , "No it don't. It says pool. You've made a mistake."
So he asks me if he can- set up for a game of croquet!

"Sure! Go ahead." I tell'em. I'm figuring what the heck.
I manage to make it into the house to find it all a wreck!
On the floor there's 'lil' baby froggy diapers
and there's teen frogs act'n like bloom'n snipers!

All runn'n 'round with play machine guns 'n' camo boots.
They're everywhere and for cover,they drug in dug up roots;
track'n mud all the way up to my kitchen sink!
I hear the toilets flush'n. "OHHH! I GOTTA THINK!"

A commotion is com'n from the den and to my amazemement this is what I see.
Two bullfrogs fight'n over the remote... for my T.V.!
This is when I say, "Allright! I've had enough!"
I head back to the kitchen. It's time I git tough!

Pull'n out a couple pots I see 'em look'n like, "What?"
I fill'um half full 'a' water then put'um on the burners to git hot.
'Bout this time they're ALL look'n and one taps me on the leg and says, "Eat more beef?"
I just laugh as they're all back'n out and say, "No. It's frog legs for me!"

WooHOO! You wanna see some frogs hop over a six foot fence?!
All I could see was a hun'erd shiny green butts an' I ain't seen 'em since.
I will say just by chance I did manage to snag a few
Sure is some good eat'n; this here tasty frog leg stew!
