Froggy by Stuart Moffatt — Lyrics
There once was a 'puter geek whose name was Jack
He lived by himself in a little shack
He worked for A Consulting firm as you shall learn
And the Accenture was always on what he could earn.
Oh Jack, why don't you marry?
Oh, Jack, why don't you live?
Oh Jack, why don't you marry?
There is so much more that you could give.
Now as he wandered down the road late one night
He heard a kind of scuttling noise beneath a log
He started to investigate but had a fright
For he heard the sound of singing from a little frog.
Oh, Jack won't you marry me I'll be your bride.
You'll lack for nothing ever again I promise you.
For I can give you all you want and more beside
If you take me for yourself then you will know that's true.
Now Jack he listened carefully out of respect
To the poor little froggy as she raised her head.
He told her that he needed much more time to reflect,
For he wanted to write code much more than to be wed.

About Froggy
This humorous secular song tells the tale of a computer geek named Jack, who lives a solitary life. His routine is interrupted one night when he hears a frog singing to him, offering a life of abundance if he marries her. The text playfully contrasts Jack's isolated existence with the frog's romantic proposition, creating a light-hearted narrative suitable for children's choirs or lighter concert programmes. The T (treble) voicing makes it accessible for younger singers or female choirs. Stuart Moffatt's setting likely brings a playful and engaging quality to this quirky story.
