This is what really happened when the princess kissed the magic frog. The adult version. (Len)

lyrics

Down by the pond there’s a big green froggy
He’s got a tongue that goes bloop like that
It goes doodloot n do do n do do do do do
Do do do doodloot do do
It goes bloop bleep do do do do do

Along comes a princess dressed in a silk dress
Oh froggy be a prince for me
He goes doodloot n do do n do do do do do
Do do do n do do do
She goes “Oh Froggy, a prince you be”

I want to meet you alone
Maybe go out for awhile
Maybe be taking you home
There maybe be love in my smile
Oh Froggy, you know I love it when you can stay a little while

Now, I don’t want you meeting my mum
I don’t want you scaring my dad
I don’t want you hanging around me
Don’t want you making me look too bad
Oh Froggy, you’re the best lover I’ve ever had.

I’ll get you commissioned a guard
And then we can kiss in the yard
We could be married in spring
And then we can do anything
Oh Froggy, you and I are gonna make the whole palace swing

And then there’s the polo in Spain
Where we’ll be doing cocaine
And we can stay with my heiress
She calls me her princess
Oh Froggy, you should see the excess

Then in the autumn our spawn
By the rose light of dawn
Will be returned to the pond
They’ll be the green demi-monde
Oh Froggy, our summer of love is gone
