Lyrics
cricket with a crooked wing, could not fly could not sing, cricket with a crooked wing, kept on tryin
birdie with a broken beak, could not squawk could not squeek, birdie with a broken beak, kept on tryin
frog with a scratchy throat, could not eat could not croak, frog with a scratchy throat, kept on tryin
catfish with a lazy fin, could not sink could not swim, catfish with a lazy fin, kept on tryin
alligator with a loose front tooth, could not chomp could not chew,
alligator with a loose front tooth, kept on tryin
no matter what is buggin you, there's only one thing left to do, no matter what is buggin you, keep on tryin!
