Froggy Went A 'Courtin
and
Inside
sung by Noel Paul Stookey.
T

he message of tolerance is as relevant today as it was when this song was first recorded and the light-hearted, humorous manner in which the message is delivered is as fun now as it was in 1967.
T
eachers will find this catchy tune, along with the two accompanying ones a delightful way to spice up a classroom music session as will parents who would like to introduce their young ones to one of the iconic musical groups of the 1960s and 1970s.
