I went for a walk late one night and talked with the bullfrog king

He told me of the moon and the big green pond and several other things

I've talked with many, many fascinating lads and it's been most interesting

C Em Am C F

But the very best tales that I've ever heard spun were the ones from the

Bullfrog King





He told me once he saw a fly so fine and fat and sweet

With color bright twas such delight that he declined to eat

Instead he said, Dear Mr. Fly, You've made my very day

And the poor fly did a double take and promptly flew away

He spoke with horror of Julia Child and he made a hasty wish

That she'd keep her damned old lemon sauce for exclusive use with fish

He added that one of his relatives had once passed on flambe

But as for himself, he really would prefer to croak in the usual way



As we chatted, he was sitting on his throne, a fine green leafy pad

Made broad swipes with a cattail scepter he inherited from his dad

His royal clothes were impeccably cut and they fit him nice and neat

He was one of those kings who is so very much a king that you didn't notice

his bare feet



The evening passed so quickly, it was time for me to leave

And as I turned to go, the bullfrog king, he royally caught my sleeve

He said, It's been so pleasant, he was sad it had to end

eant to show you, (that) you should been at home Instead

He asked me please to bring you along when I come back again
