Well this frog was hoppin' on down the road
He was thinkin' about courtin'
He had his hopes dashed too
He got squished by a car
But just his one leg
He thought for makin tadpoles just one leg oughta do
He thought, hmm, I've been heart broke before
Left a hole you drive a truck through
He hopped on down the road
A little bit further towards the truth

Now this one-legged frog was just carryin' on
He was thinkin about courtin'
So he revised a sense of duty (duty)
He ran into a dog that hadn't eaten for days
And that dog bit his eye
But he missed with the bigger tooth
He said I can see more clearly now
Desire has a way of gettin you through
Oh, I know how you loved me back then
Now it's hard to face the truth

Now this one-eyed, one-legged
Determined ol' frog
He was thinkin' about courtin'
He jumped up on a log
Well that log was infested
By some pissed-off bees
And they stung their stingers
Wherever they could get them to
Because I love you
What kind of hell do I put myself through
He hopped on down the road
There is no pain this way to the truth

And by the time he got to his amphibian mate
He was so scared and pained, he thought she'd just have to wait
But she was a demanding old toad, and havin' none of that
He saw in her eyes, the truth is here at last
What kind of urge could take this lilly pad to the moon
The grand old urge, but how many eyes and legs can I lose
Pleasures so painful, it seems the joy is in the pursuit
He hopped on down the road
Knowin' he finally found some truth
