There's a Frog on the Bump on the Branch on the Log ...

There's a hole in the bottom of the sea

So in a note yesterday I talked a little bit about how my dad’s blog posts had been turned into a book. Today’s post here on the daily Todd was originally going to be a probably boring sciency post about a deadly fungus that is causing the frogs in the picture to become endangered.

But then I couldn’t get a song out of my head that my dad used to sign with me and my siblings when I was a kid, and later with his grandkids when they would visit.

So for today’s post, I’m going to sing a song

lol, this is either going to be really fun, or really cringy.

Here are some lyrics in case you want to sing along:

There’s a hole in the bottom of the sea
There’s a hole in the bottom of the sea
There’s a hole, there’s a hole...
There’s a hole in the bottom of the sea

There’s a log in the hole in the bottom of the sea
There’s a log in the hole in the bottom of the sea
There’s a log, there’s a log...
There’s a log in the hole in the bottom of the sea

There’s a branch on the log in the hole
In the bottom of the sea
There’s a branch on the log in the hole
In the bottom of the sea

There’s a branch, there’s a branch...
There’s a branch on the log in the hole
In the bottom of the sea

There’s a bump on the branch on the log
In the hole in the bottom of the sea
There’s a bump on the branch on the log
In the hole in the bottom of the sea

There’s a bump, there’s a bump...
There’s a bump on the branch on the log
In the hole in the bottom of the sea

There’s a frog on the bump on the branch
On the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea
There’s a frog on the bump on the branch
On the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea

There’s a frog, there’s a frog...
There’s a frog on the bump on the branch
On the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea

There’s a speck on the frog on the bump on the branch
On the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea
There’s a speck on the frog on the bump on the branch
On the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea

There’s a speck, there’s a speck...
There’s a speck on the frog on the bump on the branch
On the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea

There’s a flea on the speck on the frog
On the bump on the branch on the log
In the hole in the bottom of the sea
There’s a flea on the speck on the frog
On the bump on the branch on the log
In the hole in the bottom of the sea

There’s a flea, there’s a flea...
There’s a flea on the speck on the frog
On the bump on the branch on the log
In the hole in the bottom of the sea

There’s a hole, there’s a hole.

There’s a hole in the bottom of the sea

Oh man, I probably shouldn’t quit my day job.

But that was fun! 😁

… and I’m pretty sure my dad would have enjoyed it.

Til Next Time,

Todd
