Original song about memories I have of how the Green Tree Frogs start croaking really loudly when a storm is approaching. Some people lose it and go and take apart the down pipe on their house trying to find the frog so they can get some sleep. Song and lyrics by Gary Crockett.

00:00Oh
00:30The wet season's moving in, feels like a sauna
00:34Hot and steamy nights under the tropical persona
00:38Trying to find some sleep, but the heat won't relent
00:42As I lay in my bed, I know what's coming, I can sense
00:46The storm rolls in, the dark clouds loom
00:49And outside my window, green tree frogs boom
00:53At first it's just a whisper, a croak in the night
00:57But then they rise up, oh it's quite a fright
01:00Oh, the frogs are croaking, a wild symphony
01:05A choir of amphibians, relentless company
01:09People mad as they search, don't know how to cope
01:13Rift it apart down pipes just to find that hope
01:17In their pajamas through the rain they go
01:24Knees in the mud chasing that croaking show
01:27Where are you hiding little froggy mate?
01:32I've got to get you out before it's too late
01:35I hear them scratching, pulling with a shout
01:39Come out and face me, you're driving us out
01:43The sound of thunder crashes overhead
01:46And I can tell by the racket, it's chaos instead
01:51Oh, the frogs are croaking, a wild symphony
01:57A choir of amphibians, relentless company
02:01People mad as they search, don't know how to cope
02:05Ripping apart down pipes just to find that hope
02:09Neighbors on their porches can't help but laugh
02:16Watching these antics, it's just a little daft
02:20Look at them go, they murmur with a grin
02:23Oh, what a sight with the rain pouring in
02:26Out in the storm in pajamas and pride
02:30Digging for a frog in the floods we can't hide
02:34Hey, Mr. Frog, I know you're near
02:39Your chorus is loud, clearer than a beer
02:42You'll take my sleep if I don't find you soon
02:47I'm out here like a lunatic, dancing with the moon
02:51A cacophony rises, a rivet
02:54A croak with every note they sing
02:57A bond that we broke
02:59Our nighttime foes in nature
03:01We scream and we cheer
03:03Frog frenzy at midnight as the storm draws near
03:07Oh, the frogs are croaking, a wild symphony
03:11A choir of amphibians, relentless company
03:15People mad as they search
03:17Don't know how to cope
03:19Ripping apart down pipes just to find that hope
03:23So here's to the frogs with their nightly rays
03:30Who keep us awake in the humid waves
03:34As I lay there, I just can't resist
03:38Tomorrow I'll dream of that froggy twist
03:42I'll dream of that froggy twist
04:12You
