Too Tall Frog
When I was a tadpole, I was such a sadpole
Because I was so different from my brothers
While I was a polywog, I never was a jollywog
I wanted to be like all of the others
But I never got my cruthers...
I was a too tall frog,
Always a too tall frog
Miserable and lonely all the time
Teased and tormented and treated like slime
I was a too tall frog
Caught in a too small bog
Everything I tried to do turned to crud
I sat upon my lilypad and felt like a dud
And all around the swimming hole, my name was 'Mud'
I was a too tall frog!
Then, one day it happened as it happens every Spring
The cranes and storks and kingfishers hungrily take wing
And fly to the nearest bog they find
And try to eat every frog they find
But this year, they got a big surprise
When I jumped out
I scared 'em right back into the sky!
Hooray for the too tall frog
Make way for the too tall frog
Everyone, including me, realised
There's plenty of practicality in being my size
Hooray for the too tall frog
Make way for the too tall frog
Suddenly and wonderfully, my life made sense
Now I don't mind that I'm inclined to be immense
And everyone who knows me now says I am a prince...
Not bad for a too tall...
I'm glad I'm a too tall...
Too tall frog!
