Lyrics
(Folk song)
The first grasshopper jumped right over the second grasshopper’s back,
Oh, the first grasshopper jumped right over the second grasshopper’s back,
The first grasshopper jumped right over the second grasshopper’s back,
Oh, the first grasshopper jumped right over the second grasshopper’s back.
Refrain 1
They were only playing leapfrog,
They were only playing leapfrog,
They were only playing leapfrog,
When the first grasshopper jumped right over the second grasshopper’s back.
One fleafly flew up the flue and the other fleafly flew down,
One fleafly flew up the flue and the other fleafly flew down,
One fleafly flew up the flue and the other fleafly flew down,
One fleafly flew up the flue and the other fleafly flew down.
Refrain 2
They were only playing fluefly… (repeat 3 times)
When one fleafly flew up the flue and the other fleafly flew down.
