Sesame Street Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Folks all hurry to the edge of town
At the bayou bank they stand and wait
In the clear air
Soon the water ripples catch their eye
And the ladies hush and breathe a sigh
On a lilypad all dressed in white
And then he
(Background Girls: Uh-huh)
Boogies up and down and shuffles right
(Girls: Uh-huh uh-huh)
Slips and splashes in the moonlit night
(Girls: Uh-huh uh-huh)
Alligators with their teeth so bright
Smile and sway there
(Girls: Sway there)
And soon the
(Girls: Uh-huh)
Loons are joining in the jamboree
Everybody's happy just like me
Watch him dance
On that log
Yeesh, it's the Disco Frog!
(Girls: Ribbit Ribbit! Ribbit Ribbit!)
Through the day the swamp's a quiet place
Snails and salamanders set the pace
Girls: In the spider where the air is still like a trance there
Fireflies are twinklin' white and green
There's a sudden crazy change of scene
And the star who's danced both far and wide comes to dance there
Kermit: And then he
(Background Girls: Uh-huh)
Boogies up and down and shuffles right
(Girls: Uh-huh uh-huh)
Slips and splashes in the moonlit night
(Girls: Uh-huh uh-huh)
Girls: Alligators with their teeth so bright
Smile and sway there
(Sway there)
Kermit and The Girls: And soon the

Kermit: Join us by that swampy waterside
Where we never have a thing to hide

Just to be there
While the stars are sparklin' through the night
And the bayou moon is burnin' bright
Kermit and the Girls: Yes, it's quite the most amazing sight
You can see there

The song 'Disco Frog' by Sesame Street is a fun number where the characters describe a magical frog who appears in the bayou at night and dances all night long. The lyrics describe how the people wait for the frog at the bayou bank, and when he arrives, he boogies up and down, shuffles around, and slips and splashes all while he dances. The alligators with their teeth so bright join in the fun too, but it's the loons who come in next that really get the jamboree started. Everyone is happy, and the fun never stops. Throughout the day, the swamp is a peaceful place inhabited by slow-moving creatures like snails and salamanders. However, in the evening, everything changes when the Disco Frog comes out to dance.
The song's catchy tune and playful lyrics and the mention of loons, alligators, and other swampy creatures help bring the bayou environment to life. The song teaches children the importance of having fun and enjoying the little moments in life. The Disco Frog encourages them to get up, dance and be playful.

In the evening when the sun goes down
As night falls
Folks all hurry to the edge of town
People go to where the countryside starts
At the bayou bank they stand and wait
They wait by the riverbank
In the clear air
The air is crisp and refreshing
Soon the water ripples catch their eye
They notice the water moving
And the ladies hush and breathe a sigh
Women become silent and impressed
On a lilypad all dressed in white
There's a white frog on a lilypad
He appears there
He suddenly shows up
And then he
The frog then
Boogies up and down and shuffles right
Moves and dances energetically
Slips and splashes in the moonlit night
Moves quickly and makes a lot of noise
Alligators with their teeth so bright
The alligators are smiling
Smile and sway there
They're happy and moving
And soon the
Other creatures then
Loons are joining in the jamboree
Birds start singing too
Everybody's happy just like me
Everyone is having a good time
Watch him dance
Watch the frog move
On that log
On the piece of wood
Yeesh, it's the Disco Frog!
The frog is special and stands out
Through the day the swamp's a quiet place
During the day, the swamp is peaceful
Snails and salamanders set the pace
Snails and salamanders move slowly
In the spider where the air is still like a trance there
In the dense foliage that creates a tranquil environment
Fireflies are twinklin' white and green
There are bright and colorful insects
There's a sudden crazy change of scene
Suddenly, a surprising event occurs
And the star who's danced both far and wide comes to dance there
The special frog comes to dance
Join us by that swampy waterside
Come and be with us by the river
Where we never have a thing to hide
Where there is nothing to conceal
And it makes you feel so good inside
It's a pleasant experience
Just to be there
Sitting beside the river is enough
While the stars are sparklin' through the night
The stars are shining at night
And the bayou moon is burnin' bright
The moon looks impressive
Yes, it's quite the most amazing sight
It's an astonishing scene
Because he
The frog then
