Frog in the Window - Pearls Before Swine

The frog in the window will sing for you

The frog in the window will smile for you

With his straw hat and his cane

And you know that you will not be the same

'Cause the frog in the window will dance for you

He’ll tap out the rhythm in bright red shoes

And if you ask why this is done he’ll say

You’re only old when you will not be young

And the frog in the window will answer you

The questions you bring in a cup to view

And if his answer is not the best

It’s so much better than all of the rest

But you say there are so many things to be done

And he says right back that there’s really just one

'Cause you’re talking of death and he puffs

Just being born is problem enough

And the frog in the window will cry for you

If you’re not busy dying he’ll pray for you

Glass beads in his hand

But you just stand there 'cause you don’t understand
