"On My Pond"
Hey! It's getting too noisy
Hey! This is getting annoying
I kept thinking that Kermit was actually saying "It's getting too noisy" until I viewed the lyrics, and I didn't think he was actually saying "This is getting annoying" until I played the song on YouTube. It DOES get too noisy, so I guess the misheard lyrics DO make sense.

S is for school where good behavior is the rule

"Sit Right Down And Plan"
My name is Fred, I'll just go and get
A hammer, some nails and wood
I needn't fret, I'll just go and get
