Song Description

Why is it every handsome young prince so quickly becomes the toad?

Lyrics

The Toad
(Vikki Lee)

Those fine chiseled features
That aquiline nose
They grow grotesquely absurd
Especially when punctuated with those
Mispronounced clichés and words
That you used to find cute 
But now just make you puke
Stupidity has its rewards
For it sheds such a light
On what's no longer right
What definitely has run its course

He used to be charming
It seems quite alarming
How quickly does fade the prize rose
And why is it every handsome young prince
Eventually becomes the toad?

Those flowers and bowers
And sunsets and moons
Your heart on a tilt-a-whirl
When love was so easy
The taunting and teasing
That thrilled your respectable world

Now the butterflies have
Gone back to cocoons
And caterpillars abound
Where once you were flying 
With head in the clouds
Both feet are now planted aground

He used to be charming
It seems quite alarming
How quickly does fade the prize rose
And why is it every handsome young prince
Eventually becomes the toad?

That touch that once thrilled you
Now it just chills you
And gives your poor belly a turn
You feign acute headache
When slovenly bedmate
Makes his coarse overture...overture

And you day dream most nightly
Of some handsome white knight who
Who'll free you from shackle and chain

But it reminds with remorse
That he's on the same course 
All princes are one and the same

They used to be charming
It seems quite alarming
How quickly does fade the prize rose
And why is it every handsome young prince
Eventually becomes the toad?
Why is it every handsome young prince
Too soon becomes the toad?
