Barney, The Bashful Bullfrog

(专辑： Always Your Pal, Gene Autry - 1998)

Barney was a bashful bullfrog but he was very sad
All day long he sat upon his great big lily pad
Now Barney never had a girl because he was too shy
So when evening rolled around the tears would dim his eyes
And he'd go...

Ow ow ow ow
Croaking all night long
Ow ow ow ow
It was a lonesome song

And though the moon was shining bright, romance never found him
Barney the Bashful Bullfrog was too shy to look around him
Then one day he was sitting on a hollow log
Hopping down the path he saw a pretty lady frog
She had such a lovely smile and great big eyes of blue
And when she stopped and winked at him he didn't know what to do

She went... ow ow ow ow
As his face turned red
Ow ow ow ow

The lady frog then said
"You have such a manly voice the kind of which I'm fond of
Why don't we croak together beside the lily pond

And so they spent their days together on the lily pad
And though he was too shy to show it Barney was so glad
And every night when fireflies came out to look around, they would hear them
Singing together on the lily pond

They went: ow ow ow ow

Their voices rang so clear and everyone could hear them
And so they sang together each night on the shore and Barney the
Bashful bullfrog wasn't bashful anymore

Now Barney was so bashful he wouldn't pop the question
And so they finally married at the lady frog's suggestion
They were so happy as they swam around the mud hole
It wasn't long before they had a lot of little tadpoles

They went: squeak squeak squeak

It was a happy tune
And if you open up your eyes you'll be happy too
Like Barney the Bashful Bullfrog you'll find someone for you
