Lyrics
[THE RAP: This is dedicated to the two bullfrogs that have taken up residence out behind the house–on opposite sides of a fence–and call to each other all night. I don't know which is the boy frog and which is the girl frog–it's hard to tell with bullfrogs–but I did have a good idea what they were talking about..]
FROG NEXT DOOR
–J. Wrabek
1.
Behind the 6-foot fence that I can't climb is a little girl bullfrog that says she's mine;
All through the night she calls to me, promisin' me heaven if I just set her free;
She says "I've laid these eggs and they're meant for you"--
I got the girl frog waitin' on the wrong side of the fence line blues.
2.
I can't see her face, but I can hear her call, and I believe I love her, warts and all;
She spreadin' pheromones all over the place, right through the fence that I can't break;
Been tellin' me all of the things she's gonna do–
I got the girl frog waitin' on the wrong side of the fence line blues.
BRIDGE:
Every night when the sun go set,
I c'an hear her callin' from her lily pad,
And I pray to God to give me wings to fly,
So I can see my baby on the other side...
3.
I curse that fence that keeps us apart, and hides my girl and breaks my heart;
I can't dig underneath ‘cause me hands ain't tough, can't jump the fence–I ain't strong enough;
I got Paradise callin' and I don't know what to do–
I got the girl frog waitin' on the wrong side of the fence line blues.
