Just your easy-going, simple
Warm-hearted, cold-blooded

Boo-hoo!
Oh, pshaw!
What's new?
Frogs! Frogs! Frogs! Frogs!
Be-de-de-beep, be-de-de-beep
Leave it alone and get some sleep
Leave it alone, you're in too deep
You gotta look before you leap
And nothing and nobody knows how to leap
More than the frogs!
For the frogs!

Don't you love us frogs!
Bur-rup!
For the bumps on the logs!

Not for fancy pants humanitarians
Not for chatty platitudinarians
But for easy-going, simple, jocular
Ocular frogs
Who can thrive
Just by staying friendly and alive
When there's any trouble, we survive
We just dive and go
Blep blep blep blep!
Blep blep blep blep!
[DIONYSOS]
How dare you! You twisted amphibious monsters!
[MEN]
Whaddya get, stirring the pot?
Wouldn't you rather sit and squat?
Everything's gonna stay afloat
As long as you don't rock the boat
[WOMEN and TENORS]
Dive deep! Splash around!
Whaddya want with solid ground?
Whaddya wanna get apoplexy?
[MEN]
You could be a very sexy frog!
C'mon, abandon ship
And skip the trip
And take a dip
[ALL FROGS]
Just pull up a pad
And simply flop
It's time to stop
To frolic and plop
And learn how to hop --
It's hip to hop
Hip hop! Hip hop!
[DIONYSOS]
[screaming as he falls]
Aah! This is terrible! This is... this is... wonderful!
No, no, stop, please!
Ohh.... can't we all just get along?!

With the wits of the bogs!

Whaddya care the world's a wreck?
Everyone knows the world's a wreck
Leave 'em alone, send 'em a check
Why do you want to break your neck?Frogs

Leave the world alone and count the weeds

I was almost turned into one of the frogs!
[FROGS]
Frogs
[XANTHIAS]
I thought he said there were no frogs
[DIONYSOS]
Obviously we were incredibly misinformed
[XANTHIAS]
They look pretty big to be frogs
[DIONYSOS]
Indeed
[XANTHIAS]
With a surprisingly innate sense of rhythm
[DIONYSOS]
Yes. Do you think we could postpone this discussion until after my rescue?
[XANTHIAS]
Sure thing!
[DIONYSOS]
Thank you, Xanthias -- for a minute there I was really worried
[A giant frog appears behind them]
[XANTHIAS]
Now no need to worry, master, not while I'm around. I've got the reflexes of a panther. Well maybe not a panther, more like a highly-strung farm animal, but I'm pretty limber. These frogs, they don't scare me. By the time I'm through with them
There'll be nothing left but their little frog legs -- which I hear can make for some pretty good eating. I wonder how they came up with that recipe? "Uh-oh, Marcel. We're out of snails -- quick grab that frog." Ha-ha -- it's pretty funny, huh? But seriously, master... master?
[He turns around, sees the giant frog disappear with DIONYSOS in its mouth]
Master!
