Frogg No. 2
[Intro]
Do you remember I was talking to you about that hip frog?
Well, when we left him last time, Mollie Mouse had just kissed him right off at the Coconut Grove
Called him a horny toad
So that led 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
[Verse 1]
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
Till he sounded just like another Satchmo
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
[Verse 2]
Got himself a job with a travelin' band, uh-huh
(Went out on the road)
Travelled and he played all over the land, uh-huh
He thought New York was a swinging town
So he got a little pad, and he settled down
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
(Here come them cats)
[Verse 3]
He met Dizzy, Duke, Miles and Thelonious too, uh-huh
(They knew Basie 'fore he could count)
Met Dizzy, Duke, Miles and Thelonious too, uh-huh
(Ain't that wild?)
Well, it wasn't very long till 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 frog gig)
[Verse 4]
Frogg travelled east and he travelled 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 the very same place where the bo weavil goes
Looking for a home
Gotta find a home
[Verse 5]
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 polls
And he drove back home in his brand-new Rolls
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
[Interlude]
Now, that frog was really big time
So being the star that he was
His agent, that's Bullets
Booked him back in to the Coconut Grove
As a headliner
So we're gonna join him now, and it's opening night
And we see him talking to his old flame Mollie
[Verse 6]
Look, Mollie 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-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
[Outro]
We'll it's kind of tough to tell what's gonna happen to old Frogg now (Goodbye, adios)
(Farewell, goodbye, adios) See losing Mollie again made him [?]
And his career really took a nosedive
(Farewell, goodbye, adios) Oh, he's trying 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 Frogman
(Farewell, goodbye, adios) Gotten real far out
Poor old Frogg
(Farewell, goodbye, adios) Gonna miss that Frogg
Bye Frogg
(Farewell, goodbye, adios)
