Enchanted Frog Blues (Lyrics)


You better treat me right ...

... or I'll turn you into a frog.

You shouldn't treat your lover man lke

Another bump on the log.

It'd make me feel so sad

To see you sittin on a lily pad.

So cut out the dirty dog

And you won't be a frog.



You'd better be my honey pie ...

... Or I'll turn you into a fly.

Buzzin round my garbage can

Bein nobody's friend

Or maybe a nasty gnat

Is where I will put you at

Flyin through a swampy bog

And you'd be lunch for a frog



I know that you been a'cheatin on me

With every man in the phone book, from A to Z

And if you don't stop bein untrue

I'm gonna have to cut loose and put a spell on you



If my heart should break ...

... I will turn you into a snake

You'd crawl through life on the ground

And all because you brought me down

Every day from 9 to 5

You'd be the lowest creature alive

If I turned you into a snake

Boy, you'd know you'd made a mistake.



I know that you've been hoppin in and outa bed

With every man in the phone book, every Tom Dick and Fred

And if you don't stop bein untrue

I'm gonna have to cut loose and put a spell on you



You better treat me right ...

... Or I'll definitely turn you into a frog

You shouldn't treat your sweet daddy like

Another bump on the log

It'd make me feel so sad, so sad, so sad

To see you sittin on a lily pad

So cut out the dirty dog

And you won't be a fro-wow-wow-wow-wow-wog
