Six-String Serenade for a Cricket and a Frog

Verse 1

Down by the water where the bullfrogs sing low

A cricket strums chords on a cattail banjo

He’s dreaming of someone with a greenish glow

From the edge of the mud, comes a voice soft and slow

Pre-Chorus

I see you out there

Shining under moon air

Hoping you might care

For a hopper so rare

Chorus

On a lily pad of heartbreak I wait for you my tiny friend

With a six-string serenade beneath the muddy bend

The thunder rolls, the moon glows, but it's you who haunts me so

Cricket chirps and frogs croon, love you’ll never know

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh woo-hoo

Ribbit chirp, ribbit chirp

Whoa-oh, all for you

Verse 2

Fireflies flicker while the creek keeps time

You strum your legs, I howl with slime

My love’s a battle cry under a southern sky

If you say the word, together we’ll leap high

Pre-Chorus

Under stars we collide

Froggy fate can’t deny

So I’ll sing till you’re mine

On this lonesome summer night

Chorus

On a lily pad of heartbreak I wait for you my tiny friend

With a six-string serenade beneath the muddy bend

The thunder rolls, the moon glows, but it's you who haunts me so

Cricket chirps and frogs croon, love you’ll never know

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh woo-hoo

Ribbit chirp, ribbit chirp

Whoa-oh, all for you

Bridge

Raindrops drumming on leaves by your side

We’re outlaws in clover, nowhere to hide

Would you sing me closer through the chaos and storm

Will our love be legend or just bug bites and thorns

Verse 3

If you croak, I’ll chirp in harmony true

On the banks of this pond, it’s just me and you

With the world in the dark and the danger so near

I’ll hop to your rhythm, let go of my fear

Chorus

On a lily pad of heartbreak I wait for you my tiny friend

With a six-string serenade beneath the muddy bend

The thunder rolls, the moon glows, but it's you who haunts me so

Cricket chirps and frogs croon, love you’ll never know

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh woo-hoo

Ribbit chirp, ribbit chirp

Whoa-oh, all for you
