grumpy old men
they don't want to listen
to grumpy old men
asking irritating questions.
they want to hear
something sweet
with a turn of the hips
'n a bit of a - wow!
ok we can't
turn back the clock
but we can still
remember to smile...

a frog aged twenty
asked a life and death question
and no one answered
they turned away
so the frog kept on asking
and the years passed
and no one answered
the question asked
and for forty more years
the life and death question
took life away
and gave death every day
and the frog kept on asking
and what was he
and what were they
who turned away
that froggy exterior
doesn't fool me
there's a Prince in there
'n I mean good, not a prat
take a dip in a new pool
where the water is clear
though the mud is deep
and the green weeds bubble
sit on that wet rock
try a fried fish sandwich
maybe a glass or two
cool white green
lots of people listen
they all don't turn their backs
and even stagnant pools
evaporate away
