seeking title and words to sentimental song (about a mosquito that cried)

This evening while watching a video of Polish music and dance, my mother mentioned that my deceased father used to sing a song in Polish just before bathing or while bathing. It was about a mosquito that cried. And then other mosquitoes cried.

The things I am interested in knowing are:
1. The title
2. The words to the song in Polish
3. An MP3 if one exists for legal download
Thank You! to all who respond.

Wasn't the song about the frog? I remember one about "little frog" which was eaten by a stork and then the other frogs cried. But maybe I'm wrong. It goes like this:

"Była sobie żabka mała, re re kum kum re re kum kum,
Która mamy nie słuchała re re kum kum bęc..."

Była sobie żabka mała
re re kum kum, re re kum kum,
która mamy nie słuchała
re re kum kum bęc.

Na spacery wychodziła
re re kum kum, re re kum kum,
innym żabkom się dziwiła
re re kum kum bęc.

Ostrzegała ją mamusia
re re kum kum, re re kum kum,
by zważała na bociusia
re re kum kum bęc.

Przyszedł bociek niespodzianie
re re kum kum, re re kum kum,
i zjadł żabke na śniadanie
re re kum kum bęc.

A na brzegu stare żaby
re re kum kum, re re kum kum,
rajcoway jak te baby
re re kum kum bęc.

Perhaps you meant one that goes:
Coś pod dębem stuknęło
Coś pod dębem huknęło
A to komar z dębu spadł
I połamał w karku gnat.

I showed my mother the song about the frog and the stork and she said that while similar it was not the one my father sang. She said it definitely was about a "komara".

At this point she doesn't know how the melody went. I will see she what she says about the post by Polonius3.
Also, if polishgirltx is still reading and would be so kind as to define 'rajcoway'
Once again, a sincere Thank You!

Yes, Polonius3, that is the song my mother remembers, somewhat. She said there were more verses. There was a funeral and that is where the other mosquitos cried. I did a google search and all that came up was the verse you wrote. Is there more verses to this song?
