Story behind the song
Inspired by two bullfrogs who took up residence behind the house, on opposite sides of a fence, and began calling to each other all night. I didn't know which was the boy frog and which was the girl frog, but I did have a good idea what they were discussing.
Lyrics
[4/4, mod. tempo blues]
THE FROG NEXT DOOR (2007)
–J. Wrabek
[THE RAP: This is dedicated to the two bullfrogs that took up residence out behind the house–on opposite sides of a fence–and were calling to each other all night. I don't know which is the boy frog and which is the girl frog–it's hard to tell with bullfrogs–but I did have a good idea what they were talking about..]
1.
D
Behind the 6-foot fence that I can't climb is a little girl bullfrog that says she's mine;
G D
All through the night she calls to me, promisin' Heaven if I just set her free;
A
She says "I've laid these eggs and they're meant for you"—
D A D
I got the girl frog waitin' on the wrong side of the fence line blues.
2.
I can't see her face, but I can hear her call, and I believe I love her, warts and all;
She’s spreadin' pheromones all over the place, right through the fence that I can't break;
Tellin' me all of the things she's gonna do–
I got the girl frog waitin' on the wrong side of the fence line blues.
BRIDGE:
G D
Every night when the sun go set, I can hear her callin' from her lily pad,
G E A
And I pray to God to give me wings to fly, So I can see my baby on the other side...
CHORUS:
D
I curse that fence that keeps us apart, and hides my girl and breaks my heart;
G D
I can't dig underneath ‘cause my hands ain't tough, can't jump that fence–I ain't strong enough;
A
I got Paradise callin' and I don't know what to do–
D A D
I got the girl frog waitin' on the wrong side of the fence line blues.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK (IF ANYONE CAN PLAY LEAD)
BRIDGE:
Every night when the sun go set, I can hear her callin' from her lily pad,
And I pray to God to give me wings to fly, So I can see my baby on the other side...
CHORUS:
I curse that fence that keeps us apart, and hides my girl and breaks my heart;
I can't dig underneath ‘cause my hands ain't tough, can't jump that fence–I ain't strong enough;
I got Paradise callin' and I don't know what to do–
I got the girl frog waitin' on the wrong side of the fence line blues.
REPEAT LAST LINE OF CHORUS TO END
