All kids love Log!
What rolls down stairs
Alone or in pairs
Rolls over your neighbor’s dog?
What’s great for a snack
And fits on your back?
It’s Log, Log, Log!

It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s wood.
It’s Lo-og, Lo-og,
It’s better than bad, it’s good!
Everyone wants a Log,
You’re gonna love it, Log
Come on and get your Log,
Everyone needs a Log…
LOG, from BLAMMO!
