Frog Named Freddy

well i guess i was never

that much of a child

i was key brown ice eyed and cold

i was bitter and driven

had to find all the givens

and the hows and the whys

and of course i cried

at every loud sound

and it was the bathroom and the kitchen

both white and sprayed red

i ran to my playhouse by the river

and it was there that i learned how to climb

my first fence

i've got 5 candles on my birthday cake

and the fifth one is for luck

and i've got 10 minutes to get it straight

i run up the stairs monsters behind me

turn the knob -- too late

i guess i was never that much of a child

i was key brown ice eyed and cold

i was bitter and driven

had to find all the givens

and of course i had to grab ahold

of the frog named freddy

who danced and jumped heavy

into my swimming pole

and it was the bathroom and the kitchen

both white and sprayed red

and it was there that i learned how to play dead

well i've got 5 candles on my birthday cake you see

and the fifth one if for luck

and i've got 10 minutes to get it straight

run up the stairs monsters behind me

turn the knob -- too late

i'm too late

i'm too late

but i guess i was never that much of a child

i was key brown ice eyed and cold

i was bitter and driven

had to find all of the givens

and of course i had to grab ahold

of the frog named freddy

who danced and jumped heavy

into my into my into my into my

into my into my into my into my

swimming pole
