Chet Atkins "Frog Kissin"

Here is a great song written by the ever crazy Ray Stevens, sung by Chet. It's about frogs and princes and fairy tales and happy ever afters and all that mushy stuff, but I bet you'll like it! I sure got a kick out of making it!

Here's the lyrics:

Do you remember in the fairy tale?
How the wicked witches spell changed the handsome prince to a toad
Through the power of her potion she handed him the notion
That he was lower than the dirt in the road
And though she left him green and warted her evil plan was thwarted
When there chanced to happen by a young miss
Who in spite of his complexion offered her affection
And broke the wicked curse with her kiss

Chorus:
Well if you've never been a frog kissin'
Then you don't know what you've been missin'
There's a world of opportunity under each and every log
If you've never been a charm breaker
And if you've never been a handsome prince maker
Just a slow down turn around bend down
And kiss you a frog

Once upon a time ago
I was down and feelin' low
Like a lonely frog in a pond
Life was just a joke
And I was very near a croak and
I was zapped by life's wicked wand
Then in the depth's of my depression
There came a true expression
Of a love from a lady so sweet
She gave warm fuzzy feet
Feelings that were healing
And knocked me of my little web feet

If you've never been a frog kissin'
Then you don't know what you've been missin'
There's a world of opportunity under each and every log
If you've never been a charm breaker
And if you've never been a handsome prince maker
Just a slow down turn around bend down
And kiss you a frog

Chorus:

There's a happy ever after land
Deep within the heart of man
Where a prince or princess abides
But all we get are glimpses
Of the handsome prince or princess
Cause there covered by a green warty hide
And though there full of life's potential
There lackin' one essential
To enable them to shine like a star
And that's to have some guy or misses
Smother 'em with kisses
And love them while there just like they are

And that's the secret of frog kissin
And you can do it to
If you'll just listen
Just slow down turn around bend down
And kiss you a frog

Chet wasn't a bad singer. Really cute video. Thanks for posting. And as far as Ray Stevens I think he is one of the best comedians and could write some crazy ones. But set them to video and they get even funnier and cuter.

@BettyAlexander Yes! Old Ray is one of my all time favorites! Him and Chet were good friends. And he is crazy as a coon, but I love him!

great song, but songwriter Buddy Kalb actually wrote the song; he's been a protege & songwriting buddy of Ray Stevens for many years...
