Lyrics
Well did you ever…. Well did you ever….
Well did you ever wake up with those bullfrogs on your mind?
Well did you ever wake up with those bullfrogs on your mind?
Just had to sit there laughing, laughing just to keep you from crying.
Well did you ever wake up with that one woman on your mind?
Well did you ever wake up with that one woman on your mind?
Just had to sit there laughing, laughing just to keep you from crying.
My mother got em, my father got em
My sister got em, my brother got em
Woke up this morning and my grandmother had em too
You’d know all about that, I had a bad case of the bullfrog blues
I was born one morning and the sun refused to shine
Born one morning and the sun refused to shine
My mother called up the doctor and said “Come on over and take a look at this son of mine.”
“He won’t eat, he won’t sleep. He won’t say a word.
He won’t eat, he won’t sleep. He won’t say a word.”
The doctor just laughed and said “madam don’t be absurd!”
“Get that boy a six stringed steel guitar
Get that boy a six stringed steel guitar
And he’ll be running riot every night down at the hotel bar.” (?)
Well I called up the doctor, I was not feeling so well
Called up the doctor, I was not feeling so well
The doctor looked in his bag and said “well, well”
“You don’t need no doctor, you don’t need no pill.
You don’t need no doctor, you don’t need no pill.
Take my advice and it’ll surely cure your ills.”
“Head on down to New Orleans. The prettiest place you ever seen.
Head on down where the river bends; that’s where the music never ends.
Open your ears, don’t it feel good? Get yourself a dose of rhythm and blues.”
Well did you ever wake up with those bullfrogs on your mind?
Well did you ever wake up with those bullfrogs on your mind?
Just had to sit there laughing, laughing just to keep you from crying.
