Ever since I was a baby in the bog I was always a curious little frog I remember asking mama when I was five I asked her what it was to be alive And she said if it's growing flowers or it's growing hairs If it grows too big for the clothes it wears Then you'll know as you watch it and you see it grow It's alive If it's splashing water or it's breathing air If it roars like a tiger or it eats like a bear That'll show you all you need to know that it's alive Eatin' a sandwich or eatin' a shoe Snackin' on apples or left over stew If it's breathing or growing or eatin' some lunch I think that's it's more than a hunch That it's alive We're alive We're alive We're alive 'Cause we eat and breathe and grow We're alive And we've one more fact to state That we think it's really great To be alive To be alive To be alive repeat
