<pre><font size='+2'>BULLFROG lyrics BOBBY DARIN</font><br>I was sittin` by the bank on a hollow stump <br />
<br />
When I thought I heard me a bullfrog jump <br />
<br />
Turned around and sure enough there <br />
<br />
 he sat <br />
<br />
He said excuse me, buddy, but I`ve been <br />
<br />
 readin` your news <br />
<br />
And I`m sorry to say that I`m a <br />
<br />
 little confused <br />
<br />
You bein` human, well you`d know where <br />
<br />
 it`s at. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He said I read where this old world`s <br />
<br />
 gonna fold <br />
<br />
And all on account of a think called gold <br />
<br />
And that`s somethin` hard for us frogs <br />
<br />
 to understand <br />
<br />
Now you`re lookin` at me like I`m <br />
<br />
 kinda funny <br />
<br />
But where I live we don`t have no money <br />
<br />
So we want to be hip to the happ`nin`s <br />
<br />
 here on land. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now I thought I was stoned so I <br />
<br />
 started walkin` <br />
<br />
I mean whoever heard of a bullfrog talkin` <br />
<br />
But then I realized I hadn`t been grazin` <br />
<br />
 in no grain <br />
<br />
So I figured I`d tell him just what I thought <br />
<br />
`bout how gold was sold and how gold <br />
<br />
 was bought <br />
<br />
And he`d understand our world when <br />
<br />
 I explained. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I said it all started a long time ago <br />
<br />
When the people first learned to reap <br />
<br />
 and sow <br />
<br />
They got all the things they needed right <br />
<br />
 out of the earth <br />
<br />
Like how many leaves and how many trees <br />
<br />
Would it take to cover up the anatomies <br />
<br />
And that`s how you figured how much a suit <br />
<br />
 of clothes was worth. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Well then man he learned how to milk a cow <br />
<br />
And how to till the soil with a stone <br />
<br />
 blade plow <br />
<br />
And he kept so busy he never had time to <br />
<br />
 do you harm <br />
<br />
Then he`d take his produce and all that milk <br />
<br />
And go into town and trade them for silk <br />
<br />
So his woman she`d look sharp down at <br />
<br />
 the farm. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Well the bullfrog let out a belly croak <br />
<br />
Like I`d told him some kind of a joke <br />
<br />
And he said I think you`re jivin` me my man <br />
<br />
 (what me?) <br />
<br />
I said I know it sounds kinda mystifyin` <br />
<br />
But the truth of the matter is I ain`t lyin` <br />
<br />
I mean I ain`t talkin` no bullfrog, <br />
<br />
 you understand? <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He said now don`t get upset I`m not <br />
<br />
 agin` you <br />
<br />
You just go ahead, go ahead and continue <br />
<br />
And I`ll be quiet and try to understand <br />
<br />
He said I know about trees and leaves <br />
<br />
 and plants <br />
<br />
And milk and silk and the farmer`s <br />
<br />
 romance <br />
<br />
But what`s this thing the call supply <br />
<br />
 and demand? <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I said well I grow cotton and you grow corn <br />
<br />
And you find your dungarees are all worn <br />
<br />
And me well I got to have somethin` to eat <br />
<br />
You see?So I make you some brand <br />
<br />
 new threads <br />
<br />
And now you bake me some fresh <br />
<br />
 corn bread <br />
<br />
Pretty soon we`ll have shops across <br />
<br />
 the street. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Well this didn`t work, or so we`ve been told <br />
<br />
And at that time they didn`t know <br />
<br />
 about gold <br />
<br />
So they all agreed they`d measure their <br />
<br />
 goods in salt <br />
<br />
Well that idea had an early endin` <br />
<br />
`cause they were eatin` more than they <br />
<br />
 were spendin` <br />
<br />
And besides, whoever heard of keepin` <br />
<br />
 salt in a vault. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Well folks said gold was the thing to use <br />
<br />
To pay for stuff like from ships to shoes <br />
<br />
But it weighed too much and it looked too <br />
<br />
 good to spend <br />
<br />
So round about sixteen hundred and ninety <br />
<br />
Somebody started usin` foldin` money <br />
<br />
And that`s the tale, my friend, from end <br />
<br />
 to end. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Well I thought it was a damn <br />
<br />
 good explanation <br />
<br />
I mean a real attempt at communication <br />
<br />
And I only had me schoolin` up until the <br />
<br />
 time I was ten <br />
<br />
But the bullfrog right before he <br />
<br />
 hopped away <br />
<br />
Well I could have sworn I heard him say <br />
<br />
Your world is still in the tadpole stage, <br />
<br />
 my friend.<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/bullfrog_lyrics-bobby_darin.html" target='_blank'>BULLFROG lyrics BOBBY DARIN</a></pre>

I was sittin` by the bank on a hollow stump

When I thought I heard me a bullfrog jump

Turned around and sure enough there

he sat

He said excuse me, buddy, but I`ve been

readin` your news

And I`m sorry to say that I`m a

little confused

You bein` human, well you`d know where

it`s at.

He said I read where this old world`s

gonna fold

And all on account of a think called gold

And that`s somethin` hard for us frogs

to understand

Now you`re lookin` at me like I`m

kinda funny

But where I live we don`t have no money

So we want to be hip to the happ`nin`s

here on land.

Now I thought I was stoned so I

started walkin`

I mean whoever heard of a bullfrog talkin`

But then I realized I hadn`t been grazin`

in no grain

So I figured I`d tell him just what I thought

`bout how gold was sold and how gold

was bought

And he`d understand our world when

I explained.

I said it all started a long time ago

When the people first learned to reap

and sow

They got all the things they needed right

out of the earth

Like how many leaves and how many trees

Would it take to cover up the anatomies

And that`s how you figured how much a suit

of clothes was worth.
