Aesop Rock - Long Legged Larry lyrics

With a body length of about 20 centimeters
Bullfrogs are the largest frogs
In North America
As well as the champion jumpers

Long Legged Larry was a frog at the pond
Jump so high, might miss him while he gone
Jump over anything, even King Kong
Jumping Jack Flash was his favorite song
Now once upon a time there was
A cat in a tree
Chased a squirrel up, been stuck since three
The fireman came, said "It's too high for me"
How's that cat gonna ever get free?
Young Jack Turner was a staple on the block
Said he knew about a frog with an XL hop
The neighbors startеd laughing
But Jackie wouldn't stop
Ran off, came back, guess who hе got?
Well, it was Long Legged Larry
Didn't open his mouth
Like a rocket to the moon
Through a cumulus cloud touch down safe
Lay the scaredy-cat on the ground
If you listen real close
You can still hear the crowd

Go Larry, go Larry, go, go, go Larry
Go Larry, go Larry, go, go, go, go, go

Larry doesn't care
Jump so high grow a beard in the air
Jump over anything, even Times Square
Yelling "Long Legged Larry for mayor!
Here! Here!" now once upon a time there was
A princess in a cell
In the tower of a castle
Through a forest on a hill
Half the men that ever sought
Her out had fallen ill
All the men that ever tried to
Climb the wall had fell
Handful gather at the base of the place
Each claim way braver than
The bravest you've faced
Bunch of dingbats yapping about
Saving the day but wait
A silhouetted amphibian face in haze
Well, it was Long Legged Larry on
The back of a steed
Leapt up yelling "Jordan!" Kiss the
Girl on the cheek touch down safe
Show the lady back to her peeps
If you listen real close
You can still hear the streets

Go Larry, go Larry, go, go, go Larry
Go Larry, go Larry, go, go, go, go, go

Larry's on the case
Jump so high pluck a star out of space
Jump over anything, even Salt Lake
Jump into the mosh pit, jump out of a cake
Now once upon a time there
Was a circus in town
Some went for the cotton candy
Some for the clowns
But the high wire act was the most profound
Had a poodle on a unicycle, rose in her mouth
Ten o'clock show get the poodle in position
Ten seconds in the unicycle starts tipping
Now the poodle barely clinging to
The wire by her mittens
But what the heck is that
Thing in the distance?
Ribbit, Long Legged Larry
A sight for sore eyes known to give a dog a
Ride seconds after he arrives
Touch down safe
Give her some kibbles and rawhide
If you listen real close
You can still hear the vibe

Go Larry, go Larry, go, go, go Larry
Go Larry, go Larry, go, go, go, go, go
