A
Humorous Song With Wisdom... Written by Chet Atkins
Do you remember in
the fairy tale
How the wicked witch’s
spell
Changed 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.
Well, if you’ve never
been a-frog kissin’
Then you don’t know
whatcha been missin’!
There’s a world of
opportunity
Under each and every
log!
If you’ve never been
a charm breaker,
And if you’ve never
been a handsome-prince maker,
Then slow down,
turn around, bend down, and kiss you a frog!
Once upon a time ago,
I was down and feelin’
low
Like a lowly frog
in a pond.
Life was just a joke,
’n’
I was very near a-croakin’
I was zapped by life’s
wicked wand.
But in the depths of
my depression
There came a true
expression
Of love from a lady
so sweet;
She gave me warm fuzzy
feelin’s,
Feelin’s that were
healin’,
And knocked me off
my little webbed feet!
Well, if you’ve never
been a-frog kissin’
Then you don’t know
whatcha been missin’!
There’s a world of
opportunity
Under each and every
log!
If you’ve never been
a charm breaker,
And if you’ve never
been a handsome-prince maker,
Then slow down,
turn around, bend down, and kiss you a frog!
There is a happy-ever-after
land
Deep in the heart
of man
Where a prince or
princess abides,
But all we get are
glimpses
Of that handsome prince
or princess,
’Cause they’re covered
by a green, warty hide.
And though they’re
full of life’s potential,
They’re lacking one
essential
To enable them to
shine like a star,
And that’s to have
some guy or missis
Smother them with
kisses
And love them while
they’re just like they are.
And that’s the secret
of frog kissin’
And you can do it
too if you’ll just listen:
Just slow down,
turn around, bend down, and kiss you a frog!
Go ahead, kiss yourself a frog... share page with a friend!
