FROGS off stage
Brekekekex, ko-ax, ko-ax,
Brekekekex, ko-ax, ko-ax!
We children of the fountain and the lake, let us wake,
Our full choir-shout, as the flutes are ringing out,
Our symphony of clear-voiced song.

In praise of Dionysus to produce,

When the revel-tipsy throng, all crapulous and gay,
To our precinct reeled along on the holy Pitcher day,
Brekekekex, ko-ax, ko-ax.
