A little green frog
sitting on a log
making love to the Harvest Moon,
when along came a bullfrog
a crooning a pretty little love song,
Moon soon hid behind a cloud,
while he watched the lovers gay
it wasn't very long
when a voice so strong
started in to croon this way:

Gila, Galah, Galoo, Galee
Gila, Galah, Galoo,
won't you come and cuddle up to me?
Gila, Galah, Galoo, Galee
Gila, Galah, Galoo,
What a happy little frog I'll be,
On my log there's plenty of room,
come to me and you will see
how well I can spoon,
You're wasting time making love to the moon.
Gila, Galah, Galoo, Galee
Gila, Galah, Galoo,
I know you understand
Gila, Galah, Galoo means
we'll go on a honeymoon so grand
and in a little while
we'll have a pollywog
and when he grows to be a frog
we'll find another log,
won't you Gila, Galah, Galoo, Galee
Gila, Galah, Galoo with me?

Gila, Galah, Galoo, Galee
Gila, Galah, Galoo,
won't you come and cuddle up to me?
Gila, Galah, Galoo, Galee
Gila, Galah, Galoo,
What a happy little frog I'll be,
On my log there's plenty of room,
come to me and you will see
how well I can spoon,
You're wasting time making love to the moon.
Gila, Galah, Galoo, Galee
Gila, Galah, Galoo,
I know you understand
Gila, Galah, Galoo means
we'll go on a honeymoon so grand
and in a little while
we'll have a pollywog
and when he grows to be a frog
we'll find another log,
won't you Gila, Galah, Galoo, Galee
Gila, Galah, Galoo with me?

The moon came and and looked about,
and what do you think occurred?
He gazed on the lovers
and heard them a singing
pretty love songs,
jealous, no, he wasn't
so he hid in a great big oak,
he watched them for a while,
but he had to smile,
when he heard the bullfrog croak:

Gila, Galah, Galoo, Galee
Gila, Galah, Galoo,
won't you come and cuddle up to me?
Gila, Galah, Galoo, Galee
Gila, Galah, Galoo,
What a happy little frog I'll be,
On my log there's plenty of room,
come to me and you will see
how well I can spoon,
You're wasting time making love to the moon.
Gila, Galah, Galoo, Galee
Gila, Galah, Galoo,
I know you understand
Gila, Galah, Galoo means
we'll go on a honeymoon so grand
and in a little while
we'll have a pollywog
and when he grows to be a frog
we'll find another log,
won't you Gila, Galah, Galoo, Galee
Gila, Galah, Galoo with me?

Gila, Galah, Galoo, Galee
Gila, Galah, Galoo,
won't you come and cuddle up to me?
Gila, Galah, Galoo, Galee
Gila, Galah, Galoo,
What a happy little frog I'll be,
On my log there's plenty of room,
come to me and you will see
how well I can spoon,
You're wasting time making love to the moon.
Gila, Galah, Galoo, Galee
Gila, Galah, Galoo,
I know you understand
Gila, Galah, Galoo means
we'll go on a honeymoon so grand
and in a little while
we'll have a pollywog
and when he grows to be a frog
we'll find another log,
won't you Gila, Galah, Galoo, Galee
Gila, Galah, Galoo with me?
