Caribbean Amphibian

and some amphibian friends
I know a tropical island
Where the Mango moon and Banana sun shine
And on this tropical island
There lives a cousin of mine
Sometimes he lives in the water
Sometimes he lives on the land
Sometimes he likes to go sun himself
On soft Caribbean sand
He's a Caribbean Amphibian
He likes to hop in the tropical sea
Caribbean Amphibian
A frog in a coconut tree
The flying fish and the turtles
They've seen him hop where the pineapple grows
He likes to see all the islands
So, island-hopping he goes
Sometimes he hops to Jamaica
Sometimes to Haiti he hops
Sometimes a warm Puerto Rican beach
Is where he finally stops
He's a Caribbean Amphibian
He likes to hop in the tropical sea
Caribbean Amphibian
A frog in a coconut tree
Sometimes he lives in the water
Sometimes he lives on the land
Sometimes he likes to play music in
An all-amphibian band
He's a Caribbean Amphibian
He likes to hop in the tropical sea
Caribbean Amphibian
A frog in a coconut tree
Everybody!
He's a Caribbean Amphibian
He likes to hop in the tropical sea
Caribbean Amphibian
A frog in a coconut tree
A frog in the coconut tree
Ribbet Ribbet!
