Frog Kissin
Chet Atkins Lyrics

Do you remember in the fairy tale?
Do you recall the story of old?

How the wicked witches spell changed the handsome prince to a toad
Remember how the villain's curse turned the handsome man into a frog

Thru the power of her potion she handed him the notion, That he was lower than the dirt in the road
Through her magical concoction, she convinced him that he was worthless as the dirt on the ground

And thou she left him green and warted her evil plan was thwarted When there chanced to happen by a young miss
Although she turned him into a green, bumpy toad, her wicked scheme was foiled when a young lady appeared

Who in spite of his complexion offered her affection, And broke the wicked curse with her kiss
Despite his appearance, she showed him love and broke the spell with a simple kiss

Well if you've never been a frog kissin, Then you don't know what you've been missing There's a world of opportunity under each and every log
If you've never kissed a frog, you're missing out on an entire world of possibilities lurking under the logs

If you've never been a charm breaker And if you've never been a handsome prince maker Just a slow down turn around bend down And kiss you a frog
If you've never broken a curse or turned a toad back into a prince, just slow down, turn around, bend down, and give a frog a smooch

Once upon a time ago I was down and feelin low Like a lonely frog in a pond
Once upon a time, I was feeling down and lonely, like a frog in a pond

Life was just a joke And I was very near a croakin I was zapped by life's wicked wand
Life felt like a joke and I was close to giving up. However, life struck me with misfortune

Then in the depth's of my depression There came a true expression From a love from a lady so sweet
In the midst of my despair, I found true love from a sweet lady

She gave warm fuzzy feelings Feelings that were healing And knocked me of my little web feet
Her affection warmed my heart and healed my soul, lifting me from my sorrow

There's a happy ever after land Even in the heart of man Where a prince or princess abide
There is a world of happiness within every person, where princes and princesses reside

But all we get are glimpses Of the handsome prince or princess Cause there covered by a green warty hide
However, we only catch glimpses of these hidden royalty because they're disguised as green, warty toads

And thou there full of life's potential There lackin one essential To enable them to shine like a star
Though they're full of potential, they lack one key element to allow them to shine brilliantly

And that's to have some guy or misses Smother them with kisses And love them while there just like they are
That key element is being loved and accepted just the way they are, with plenty of kisses

And that's the secret of frog kissin And you can do it to If you just listen Just slow down turn around bend down And kiss you a frog
That is the secret of kissing frogs to reveal their true potential, which anyone can do if they listen and take the time to slow down, turn around, bend down, and smooch a frog
