Manfred Mann’s Earth Band - Frog lyrics

Once upon a time
On a quiet summer's evening an old man was
Rowing an old boat across an ancient lake

A little frog jumped up onto
The end of the boat
And the frog said to the old man:
"Old man, if you kiss me, i will turn into a
Beautiful young princess and
You can do whatever you want with me"

And the old man smiled at the frog and kept
On rowing his old boat
Across the ancient lake

And the frog said again: "Old man
If you kiss me I will
Turn into a beautiful young
Princess and you can do whatever
You want with me"

And the old man smiled and
Looked at the frog and
Carried on rowing his old boat
Across the ancient lake
(You can make a dear friends
You can make a dear friends)
And there was a long silence
While the guitar played

(You can make a dear friends
You can make a dear friends)

The frog said to the old man: "Old man
Why won't you kiss me?"

The old man looked at the frog and stopped
Rowing his old boat across the ancient lake
Put his hands in the air
And shrugged his shoulders and
Said: "At my age I'd rather
Have a talking frog"

You can make a dear friends
You can make a dear friends
