C Em Am C F G C I went for a walk late one night and talked with the bullfrog king C Em Am C F G C He told me of the moon and the big green pond and several other things F Em D7 G I've talked with many, many fascinating lads and it's been most interesting C Em Am C F But the very best tales that I've ever heard spun were the ones from the G C F G C Em Am C F G C Bullfrog King He told me once he saw a fly so fine and fat and sweet With color bright twas such delight that he declined to eat Instead he said, Dear Mr. Fly, You've made my very day And the poor fly did a double take and promptly flew away He spoke with horror of Julia Child and he made a hasty wish That she'd keep her damned old lemon sauce for exclusive use with fish He added that one of his relatives had once passed on flambe But as for himself, he really would prefer to croak in the usual way As we chatted, he was sitting on his throne, a fine green leafy pad Made broad swipes with a cattail scepter he inherited from his dad His royal clothes were impeccably cut and they fit him nice and neat He was one of those kings who is so very much a king that you didn't notice his bare feet The evening passed so quickly, it was time for me to leave And as I turned to go, the bullfrog king, he royally caught my sleeve He said, It's been so pleasant, he was sad it had to end eant to show you, (that) you should been at home Instead He asked me please to bring you along when I come back again
