[Verse 1]
C                                   Am                           F
Do you remember in the fairy tales, how the wicked witch's spell changed the handsome prince to
 a toad,
             G                                                    C              F#dim       
Through the  power of a potion, she handed him the notion, he was lower than the dirt in the 
C
road,
               E7                                                                Am
and though she left him green and warted, her evil plan was thwarted, when there chanced to 
happen
F          C            G                                                   C                
by a young miss, who in spite of his complexion, offered her affection, and broke the wiched 
F
curse
         C
with her kiss.
 
 
{ CHORUS }
C                         G                            C
Well if you've never been frog kissing, then you don't know what you've been missing, there's a
D                                         G              C            G
world of opportunity under each and every log, if you've never been a charm breaker, if you've 
never
       F                           G                       C             G          C
been a handsome prince maker, just slow down, turn around, bend down and kiss you a frog.
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                     Am                          F                             G
Once upon a time ago, I was down and felling low, like a lonely frog in a pond, life was just a
 joke,
                                      C         F#dim         C                 E7
and I was very near a croaking, I was zapped by life's wicked wand, then in the depth of my 
depression,
                                   Am          F       C                 G
there came a true expression, of a love from a lady so sweet she gave me warm fussy feeling, 
feelings
                       C                 F          C
that were healing, and knocked me off my little web feet.
 
 
{ CHORUS }
C                         G                            C
Well if you've never been frog kissing, then you don't know what you've been missing, there's a
D                                         G              C            G
world of opportunity under each and every log, if you've never been a charm breaker, if you've 
never
       F                           G                       C             G          C
been a handsome prince maker, just slow down, turn around, bend down and kiss you a frog.
 
 
[Verse 3]
C                                Am                            F
There's a happy ever after land, deep within the heart of man, where a prince or princess 
abides, but
G                                                                        C            F#dim 
all we get are glimses of the handsome prince or princess, cause they're covered by a green 
      C
warty hide,
E7                                                          Am             F            C
full of life's potential, they're lacking one essential, to enable them to shine like a star,
              G                                                   C                       F
and that's to have some guy or misses cover them with kisses, and love them while they're just 
like they are.
 
 
[Outro]
C                        G                                      F        C
And that's the secret of frog kissing, and you can do it too if you just listen, just slow 
down,
F            G                        C
turn around, bend down and kiss you a frog.  ribbit, ribbit.
