00:35At school, Froggy read a poster

00:38Don't forget, trip to the pumpkin patch

00:41Tomorrow, pumpkin picking contest

00:49Next morning, Froggy woke up and looked out the window

00:53A beautiful pumpkin moon was setting

00:55and colorful leaves were falling

01:00Leaves! Leaves! cried Froggy

01:04I want to go out and play in the...

01:06Oops! He fell out of bed

01:09Thump!

01:13Froggy called his mother

01:16What?

01:18Stop jumping off the bed, dear

01:20Today is your field trip

01:22Oh, yeah! cried Froggy

01:25It's time to pick a pumpkin

01:30He hopped up and got dressed

01:33Zip! Zoop! Zup! Zut! Zut! Zut! Zut!

01:39And flopped into the kitchen

01:42Flop! Flop! Flop!

01:43Singing, pumpkins, pumpkins, muffins and pie

01:47Pumpkin faces lighting the sky

01:53He ate his breakfast of cereal and flies

01:56Munch! Crunch! Munch!

01:58And imagined a steaming pumpkin pie

02:01Yum!

02:02And a whole line of jack-o'-lanterns outside

02:05Lighting the night sky

02:11On the school bus, Froggy bounced in his seat

02:14Boing! Boing! Boing!

02:16And let all his friends singing

02:18Pumpkins, pumpkins, muffins and pie

02:21Pumpkin faces lighting the sky

02:28When they got to the pumpkin patch

02:30He jumped off the bus

02:32Flop! Flop! Flop!

02:33And sang, I'm going to pick a pumpkin

02:36I'm going to pick a pumpkin

02:39Froggy called his teacher, Miss Witherspoon

02:43What?

02:44Wait, dear

02:45We're going to have a pumpkin picking contest

02:48For the biggest, smallest, prettiest, ugliest

02:51And best all-around pumpkin

02:55Yippee! cried Froggy

02:57And he took off

02:58Flop! Flop! Flop!

03:00And tripped over a pumpkin

03:02Flew through the air

03:04And knocked into another pumpkin

03:06Bonk!

03:11Max bounced over three small pumpkins

03:14And tried to pick up a huge one

03:16It didn't budge

03:18Ugh!

03:19Travis said, step aside

03:22And lifted it up

03:28Matthew zig-zagged around Max, Travis and Froggy

03:32And picked up the prettiest pumpkin in the world

03:35It was shiny and perfect

03:37And just the right size

03:42Frogalina twirled and jiggled

03:46Frogalina twirled and danced through the pumpkin patch

03:51Then squatted down and said

03:53Hello, my sweet

03:55And picked up a very small, very dark orange pumpkin

03:59And kissed it

04:00Smooch!

04:05Froggy hopped up on a gigantic pumpkin

04:08And looked all around

04:10Like a pirate on the bow of a ship

04:12And shouted

04:13Ahoy there!

04:18And he leapfrogged over Frogalina

04:21He leapfrogged over Max

04:23He leapfrogged over Matthew

04:26Flop! Flop! Splat!

04:28And fell smack across a really big pumpkin

04:36He stood up and said

04:38This is the one

04:39And he tried to pick it up

04:41He got it up to his knees

04:43Huff!

04:44He got it up to his chest

04:46Yes!

04:47Then he trudged along with his huge pumpkin

04:50Lug! Lug! Ugg!

04:55Froggy!

04:56Called Miss Witherspoon

04:58What?

04:59You're going the wrong way

05:01Oops!

05:02Said Froggy

05:03And started huffing

05:09Max yelled

05:10Last one in is a rotten egg

05:13Everybody else ran with their pumpkins

05:16And Travis rolled his big one

05:18Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

05:24When Froggy finally got there

05:26He was too pooped to pop

05:28And tripped

05:29And smashed his pumpkin

05:31Smoosh!

05:32Oops!

05:33Cried Froggy

05:34Looking more red in the face than green

05:40Everybody laughed

05:41Even Miss Witherspoon

05:43Then she said

05:45And now for the winners of the pumpkin picking contest

05:52For biggest, Travis

05:55For smallest, Max

05:57Max lifted his hat

05:59And there, atop his head

06:01Was a pumpkin the size of a golf ball

06:07For prettiest, Matthew

06:09And for best all around, Frogalina

06:12Hers is a pie pumpkin

06:14Great for baking

06:15Frogalina said

06:17Hello, my sweet

06:18And kissed it

06:19Smooch!

06:24Then Miss Witherspoon said

06:26And for the ugliest

06:28Yours, Froggy

06:29What a mess!

06:31And everybody cheered

06:33Hip! Hip! Hooray!

06:34Even Froggy

06:39And on the bus ride home

06:41Froggy sang

06:42Pumpkins, pumpkins, muffins and pie

06:45Pumpkin faces lighting the sky

06:48And all his friends sang with him
