Forget your troubles Wallow with us Squat and take a mud bath! What's it get you Making a fuss? Just another blood-bath! Aw! Boo-hoo! Oh, pshaw! What's new? Forget your troubles Wallow with us Squat and take a mud bath! [FROGS, in five GROUPS, in canon:] (1) What's it get 'em, making a fuss? Just another blood bath! Forget your troubles Wallow with us Squat and take a mud bath! What's it get 'em, making a fuss? Just another blood bath! We seen it We heard it We been there We know it already We seen it We heard it We been there We know it already We seen it We heard it We been there We know it already We seen it We heard it We been there We know it already Jeremiah was a bullfrog Was a good friend of (2) Brek-kek-kek-kek!

Row row row your boat Gently down the stream Merrily merrily merrily merrily Life is but a scream Row row row your boat Gently down the stream Merrily merrily merrily merrily (3) Row row row your boat Gently down the stream Merrily merrily merrily merrily Life is but a scream Row row row your boat Gently down the stream Merrily merrily merrily merrily Life is but a scream Merrily merrily merrily merrily Life is but a scream Row row row your boat Gently down the stream Merrily merrily merrily merrily Life is but a scream Row row row your boat (4) Row row row your boat gently down the stream Merrily merrily merrily merrily Life is but a scream Row row row your boat gently down the stream Tote dat barge and lift that crud You gets a little drunk and you lands in mud You and he You sweat and strain Body all achin' and --- (5) You and he You sweat and strain Body all achin' and racked wid' pain Who cares if the sky Cares to fall in the swamp? Who cares if the sky Cares to fall in the [ALL FROGS] Swamp Boo-hoo! Oh, pshaw! What's new? Frogs! Frogs! Frogs! Frogs! Be-de-de-beep, be-de-de-beep Leave it alone and get some sleep Leave it alone, you're in too deep You gotta look before you leap And nothing and nobody knows how to leap More than the frogs! For the frogs! For the frogs! For the frogs! For the frogs! For the frogs! For the frogs! For the frogs! Don't you love us frogs! Bur-rup! For the bumps on the logs! Ko-ax! Not for fancy pants humanitarians Not for chatty platitudinarians But for easy-going, simple, jocular Ocular frogs Who can thrive Just by staying friendly and alive When there's any trouble, we survive We just dive and go Blep blep blep blep! Blep blep blep blep! [DIONYSOS] How dare you! You twisted amphibious monsters! [MEN] Whaddya get, stirring the pot? Wouldn't you rather sit and squat? Everything's gonna stay afloat As long as you don't rock the boat [WOMEN and TENORS] Dive deep! Splash around! Whaddya want with solid ground? Whaddya wanna get apoplexy? [MEN] You could be a very s**y frog! C'mon, abandon ship And skip the trip And take a dip [ALL FROGS] Just pull up a pad And simply flop It's time to stop To frolic and plop And learn how to hop -- It's hip to hop Hip hop! Hip hop! [DIONYSOS] [screaming as he falls] Aah! This is terrible! This is... this is... wonderful! No, no, stop, please! Ohh.... can't we all just get along?! [FROGS] Brek-kek-kek-kek kek-kek kek-kek... Ko-ax! Brek-kek-kek-kek kek-kek kek-kek... Rib-et rib-et! Stay with the frogs With the frogs With the wits of the bogs! Not your hippy dippy insurrectionists Not your hasty pasty-faced perfectionists Stay with the easy-going, simple, rollicking Frolicking Kek-kek Brek-kek-kek-kek! Brek-kek-kek-kek! Whaddya care the world's a wreck? Everyone knows the world's a wreck Leave 'em alone, send 'em a check Why do you want to break your neck? Frogs In the reeds Leave the world alone and count the weeds While the world may not know what it needs [DIONYSOS] Help! [FROGS] It proceeds And in time Will be [DIONYSOS] Xanthias! [FROGS] Sublime [XANTHIAS] Master! [FROGS] All bogs And weeds And frogs [DIONYSOS] I was almost turned into one of the frogs! [FROGS] Frogs [XANTHIAS] I thought he said there were no frogs [DIONYSOS] Obviously we were incredibly misinformed [XANTHIAS] They look pretty big to be frogs [DIONYSOS] Indeed [XANTHIAS] With a surprisingly innate sense of rhythm [DIONYSOS] Yes. Do you think we could postpone this discussion until after my rescue? [XANTHIAS] Sure thing! [DIONYSOS] Thank you, Xanthias -- for a minute there I was really worried [A giant frog appears behind them] [XANTHIAS] Now no need to worry, master, not while I'm around. I've got the reflexes of a panther. Well maybe not a panther, more like a highly-strung farm animal, but I'm pretty limber. These frogs, they don't scare me. By the time I'm through with them There'll be nothing left but their little frog legs -- which I hear can make for some pretty good eating. I wonder how they came up with that recipe? "Uh-oh, Marcel. We're out of snails -- quick grab that frog." Ha-ha -- it's pretty funny, huh? But seriously, master... master? [He turns around, sees the giant frog disappear with DIONYSOS in its mouth] Master! [FROGS] Frogs frogs frogs frogs Brek-kek-kek-kek-kek-kek- Kek-kek-kek-kek-kek-kek-kek [All the FROGS exit] [XANTHIAS] I think we're gonna need a bigger boat
