Kiss That Frog Lyrics
[Intro: Peter Gabriel]
(Ah yeah)
Yeah, jump in the water
[Verse 1: Peter Gabriel]
Sweet little princess
Let me introduce his frog-ness
You alone can get him singing
He's all puffed up, want to be your king
[Chorus: Peter Gabriel, Peter Gabriel & Marilyn McFarlane]
Oh, you can do it, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Lady, kiss that frog
[Verse 2: Peter Gabriel, Marilyn McFarlane]
Splash, dash, heard your call
Bring you back your golden ball
He's going to dive down in the deep end
He's going to be just like your best friend
So what's one little kiss, one tiny little touch?
Ah, he's wanting it so much
I swear that this is royal blood running through my skin
Oh, can you see the state I'm in?
Kiss it better
Kiss it better (Kiss that frog)
Kiss that frog
(Ah yeah)
Yeah, jump in the water
[Verse 1: Peter Gabriel]
Sweet little princess
Let me introduce his frog-ness
You alone can get him singing
He's all puffed up, want to be your king
[Chorus: Peter Gabriel, Peter Gabriel & Marilyn McFarlane]
Oh, you can do it, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Lady, kiss that frog
[Verse 2: Peter Gabriel, Marilyn McFarlane]
Splash, dash, heard your call
Bring you back your golden ball
He's going to dive down in the deep end
He's going to be just like your best friend
So what's one little kiss, one tiny little touch?
Ah, he's wanting it so much
I swear that this is royal blood running through my skin
Oh, can you see the state I'm in?
Kiss it better
Kiss it better (Kiss that frog)
Kiss that frog
[Verse 3: Peter Gabriel]
Get it into your head
He's living with you, he sleeps in your bed
Can't you hear beyond the croaking
Don't you know that I'm not joking
Ah, you think you won't, I think you will
Don't you know that this tongue can kill
[Chorus: Peter Gabriel, Peter Gabriel & Marilyn McFarlane]
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Lady, kiss that frog
[Bridge: Peter Gabriel]
Let him sit beside you
Eat right off your plate
You don't have to be afraid
There's nothing here to hate
Princess, you might like it
If you lowered your defense
Kiss that frog and you will get your prince
Get your prince
Hah
[Outro: Peter Gabriel, Peter Gabriel & Marilyn McFarlane, Marilyn McFarlane, unknown voice]
