Foggy
Along a dark and lonely
On a road covered in fog
One day while out walking
I met this magic frog
You say you don't believe me
But my stories true
Or can you explain to me Sir
Why my skin is blue
Well them and there my skin broke out
With all kinds of little bumps
The Frog thought it funny
When he changed my legs to stumps
I turned around and I looked down
And sitting on a stick
Was this Magic Froggy
With a bag of tricks
He said when he was nine or ten
And just a little boy
His dad bought him a chemistry set
For a birthday toy
All the day he played and played
Poring this one into that
Made the doggy take a sip
And now the dogs a cat
Well by and by it took it's time
But like the little dog
He mixed a magic potion
That changed him to a Frog
His daddy made him his new home
And put him in a jar
Drove out to the country
And threw him from the car
No wonder you're so mean and cruel
Revenge is in your heart
Maybe I can help you
If you want a brand-new start
Froggy jumped from rock to rock
Singing a happy tune
He said Mister I will give you anything
If you can start real soon
Well first of all ,I need your trust
My orders you must obey
Change me back to what I was
And Froggy don't delay
Froggy waved his magic wand
No more was my skin blue
The little bumps all disappeared
And my legs even grew
I placed Frog in the bottle
And the quickest thing I did
Before Frog could climb out again
I put on the lid
Now people come from worlds afar
To see my Froggy... In a jar
