Frog Kissin'

Thanks to Nora McColl, who e-mailed me this song!

Do you remember the fairy tale, how the wicked witch's spell
Turned the handsome prince to a toad
Through the power of her potion, she handed him the notion
That he was lower than the dirt in the road
And though she left him green and warted, her evil plan was thwarted
When there chanced to happen by a young miss
Who in spite of his complexion, offered her affection
And broke the wicked curse with her kiss

Chorus:

If you've never been frog kissin'
Well, you don't know what you've been missin', yeah
There's a world of opportunity under each and every log
And if you've never been a charm breaker
And if you've never been a handsome prince maker, yeah
Then just slow down, turn around, and kiss you a frog
Once upon a time ago, I was down and feeling low
Like a lonely frog in a pond
Life was just a joke, and I was very near to croak
And I was zapped by life's wicked wand
Then in the depths of my depression there came a true expression
Of love from a lady so sweet
She gave me warm, fuzzy feelings, feelings that were healing
And knocked me off my little webbed feet.

There's a happy ever after land, deep within the heart of man
Where a prince or princess abides
But all we get are glimpses of the handsome prince or princess
'Cause they're covered by a green, warty hide
And thought they're full of life's potential, they're lacking one essential
To enable them to shine like a star
And that's the handsome guy or missus who'll cover them with kisses
And love them while they're just like they are.
