Story Behind The Song

Sitting around one day and I wondered what happens when frogs get depressed.Do they get the Blues or do they get the Greens.Good beer drinking song.

Lyrics

The Greens Words&Music----G.Sheley

Here I am alone on my ol' lily pad
Never knew my Momma,never knew my Dad
All I keep thinking about is porterhouse steaks
Cause flies and grubs and snails don't taste that great

I'd like to go cruisin' in a big ol' Cadillac
I'd leave this swamp and I'd never come back
I'd go out to Vegas and check out the scene
If I stay her much longer, I'll just scream

I get those Greens, Those cryin' jag Greens
When all I do is sit here and sit here and dream
I'd like to get blue,like people do
But that's just one thing I just can't seem to do

When it gets cold and the leaves start to fall
I'd like to stoke up a fire and watch some football
Look out the window and watch the snow fly
But I'm stuck in this swamp till the day I die

Down in Louisana lives Ol' Bayou Bob
He's an old frog hunter,yeah,thats his night job
You gotta step lively, stay on your toes
Or you'll be the next course at Seafood Joe's

I get the Greens, those cryin' jag Greens
When all I do is sit here,and sit here and dream
I'd like to get blue like people do
But that's just one thing I just can't seem to do

Don't get the blacks,
Don't get the greys,
Don't get the pinks,
Don't get the blues

I get those greens,those cryin' jag greens
Bad scene greens,I get the greens
