Tori Amos - Frog On My Toe
from the "Talula" single
Poppa I know there's a frog on my toe
Maybe I'll call him Jethro
Maybe I'll grow up to be quite as good as he
And maybe you'll come back after you're long gone
And Poppa I'm sure the worms have eaten you now
And Jethro's been on some Frenchy's plate long ago
And now I'm pretty sure that I listened to every word
'Cause I still hear you telling me still
Slap them boys when they're naughty
Make 'em crawl, make you haughty
Make a strong little girl, you paint them toes that reddish color
And you know one day you're gonna be bigger than a flea
You're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree
Now I'm pretty sure that I think you come and visit
And talk sometimes kind of like Gidget and
A funny little chants like an Indian Brave
You said we all grew fat when the white men came
But one day girl you're gonna learn to make 'em crawl
Make them grow tall but have the grace to be a lady with disgrace
Then you fry them 'taters and you make them with lady's hands
And all you're my pappy's baby
