《Song Book》You remember I was talkin’ to ya about that hip frogg?
Well, when we left him last time,
Molly Mouse had just kissed him right off at the coconut grove.
Called him a ‘horny toad.’
So, that lead him to believe that maybe he wasn’t just as hip as he thought he was.
So he began to ask himself
‘who are the hippest people in the world?’
Well who else,
jazz musicians.
Frogg bought a horn and he learned to blow
uh-huh
Frogg bought a horn and he learned to blow
uh-huh
Frogg bought a horn and he learned to blow
‘til he sounded just like another schmole
uh-huh
uh-huh
uh-huh
Got himself a job with a travelling band
uh-huh
Went out on the road
traveled and heplayed all over the land
uh-huh
He thought New York was a swingin’ town
so he got a little pad and he settled down
uh-huh
uh-huh
uh-huh
Here come them cats.
He met Dizzy Duke, Miles, and Thelonious too
uh-huh
They knew base therefore they could count.
He met Dizzy Duke, Miles, and Thelonious too
uh-huh
Ain’t that wild?
Well it wasn’t very long ‘til he had his own group
and they made it to Chicago for a gig on the loop
uh-huh
uh-huh
uh-huh
Kind of a frogg gig.
Frogg traveled east and he traveled to the west
uh-huh
But the south was the place that he liked best
uh-huh
Way down south where cotton grows
That's very same place where the bull-weevil goes
lookin’ for a home.
Gotta’ find a home.
Frogg kept a workin’
and he gained a lot of fame
uh-huh
In every hip circle you could hear his name
uh-huh
He grabbed number one in all the jazz poles
and he drove back home in his brand new Rolls
uh-huh
uh-huh
uh-huh
Now that frogg was really big time.
So being the star that he was,
his agent, Hanson Bullets,
booked him back into the coconut grove, as a headliner.
So, we’re going to join him now, and it’s opening night.
And we see him talkin’ to his old flame Molly.
Look Molly Mouse I’m a great big star
uh-huh
If you marry me now we’ll both go far
uh-huh
But her reply was worse than he feared
She didn’t dig his brand new beard
uh-huh
uh-huh
uh-huh
Farewell, goodbye, adios.
Well it’s kinda’ tough to tell what’s going to happen to old frogg now.
Farewell, goodbye, adios.
He loosin’ Molly again, made him awful sad.
And his career really took a nose dive.
Farewell, goodbye, adios.
Oh, he’s tryin’ to pull it out,
he’s getting’ little publicity.
Farewell, goodbye, adios.
He went out and bought himself a plastic horn.
Farewell, goodbye, adios.
And he’s known as “Hornet Froggman”
Gotten real far out.
Farewell, goodbye, adios.
Poor old frogg.
Farewell, goodbye, adios.
Gonna’ miss that frogg.
Farewell, goodbye, adios.
Bye frogg.
Farewell, goodbye, adios.
