about
Frogs don't really stay in water until it boils. (Music: The Fox)
lyrics
Frog jumped into a water pan
Maybe not the best-laid plan
But the water was cool and the view was grand
Way up on the stove-o, stove-o, stove-o
The water was cool and the view was grand
Way up on the stove-o
Pretty soon, a little blue flame
Doesn't matter who’s to blame
It’s getting warmer, just the same
Where that flame’s a-glow-o, glow-o, glow-o
It’s getting warmer, just the same
Where that flame’s a-glow-o
Now a nice warm bath is something fine
You can linger there, it’s not a crime
Relaxation, that’s my line
Thought our froggy friend-o, friend-o, friend-o
Relaxation, that’s my line
Thought our froggy friend-o
After a while, warm turned to hot
Fat cat watched from her cozy spot
The cat mighta helped, but she did not
Frog was on his own-o, own-o, own-o
The cat mighta helped, but she did not
Frog was on his own-o
Now they say that a frog will stay and die
As the water boils, he’ll close his eyes
Frog jumped out, “What a pack of lies,
These legs were made to leap-o, leap-o, leap-o”
Frog jumped out, “What a pack of lies,
These legs were made to leap-o
Well, friends we’re in a hot water pan
Will we wait for rescue, sit or stand
No! We’ll scream and holler and leap ‘cause we can
Like our friend the frog-o, frog-o, frog-o
We’ll scream and holler and leap ‘cause we can
Like our friend the frog-o
