Lyrics
FROGGY, little FROGGY, where have you gone?
Is it the same old story: are we doing you wrong?
FROGGY, little FROGGY, you who survived
Two-hundred million years to our measly five.
Yes, you survived breathing through your skin
Till we came with all our poisons to do you in.
We keep right on polluting earth, air and water,
Never turning to face the muck we leave behind for others.
We drained your wetlands to make us a mall,
Super-duper market, drive-in bank and all.
No, we ain't the most caring or the most wise,
But we know when we've lost a friend.
So before we're eaten alive by the insects you kept in check,
If we promise to stop dissecting you, will you come back?
Come back, little FROGGY, 'cuz I'm feeling the lack
Of a leaping spirit, come leaping back.
What will the dancer in me do without you?
Come back little spirit, come back, little FROGGY, come backk.
