The Rise and Fall of a Bastardly Frogman

up up up up
the escalator of fortune & fame
up up up up
the bounsy frogman rises
up up up up
selling out his own kind for wealth
up up up up
now posh & proud in his green villa
up up up up
known as a bachelor in his thirties
up up up up
velvety robe on his slimy body
up up up up
pond whisky on the rocks in his glass
up up up up
expensive cigars and marble bathtubs
up up up up
forced to pay his secret tadpoles
up up up up 
they call him crook and even a snake
up up up up
he lives his reckless life anyway
up up up up 
he doesn’t care about the others
up up up up
thinking he’s still loved and popular
up up up up
but unfortunately for him
up up up up
the justice, the French are coming
up up up up
rises the frogman in a boiling pot
down down down down
the throats of ravenous gourmets
up up up in the heaven
that’s where that bastard certainly isn’t
