Five Green and Speckled Frogs (also recorded as "Five Speckled Frogs," "Five Little Speckled Frogs," and "Three Little Speckled Frogs") is a popular children's song and nursery rhyme sung in many daycare centers. It is also often sung to babies when they are learning how to swim, in "parent and tot" swim classes. In this context it is usually sung as the children first enter the pool, and the number "five" is adjusted to match the number of children in the swim class.

Plant thou no roses at my head, Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember, And if thou wilt, forget.”

Small print overspread it,
The news of a day I’ve forgotten
If I ever read it.”
