william finn - prologue: frogs have so much spring (the spring song) lyrics

Loading...

[gordon]
frogs have so much spring within them
and–ugh, god
frogs have so much spring within them
[hums]

[rhoda]
just play me what you have!

[lisa]
hey, mister!
hey, you!
pennies or nickels or dimes
we live in perilous times

[gordon]
frogs have so much spring within them
jump, frog, jump
jump so high you split your tights-

[rhoda]
that bites!

[gordon]
that bites, okay, just, uh. i-i’ve got something else, though. hold on, here we go. here we go, ready?

[coughs and adjusts to higher pitch]

frogs have so much spring within them
jump, frog, jump
lilypads are your next stop
…kerplop
you missed the lilypad!

[rhoda]
it’s really very bad

[gordon]
no, ugh!

what the h-ll am i doing?
who am i fooling?
writing songs for frogs!
those nasty gnats
they’re nature’s little acrobats
i hate them more than kitty-cats
oh god no…

[rhoda]
gordon! what the h-ll? i need this song!

[gordon]
sorry it’s late, rhoda

[rhoda]
you’re always late

[gordon]
i keep working on the “spring” song
is he angry that he doesn’t have the “spring” song yet?
i bet…

[rhoda]
no, he’s angry that he doesn’t have the “yes” song

[gordon]
i hate the yes song
i hate the spring song
i hate mr. bungee and this job
god, it’s bad working on “mr. bungee’s lilypad”
he’s taking up the brunt of my time

[rhoda]
it’s called a job, and i’d like to keep mine

[gordon]
i don’t have time to write my real stuff
but i’d feel stuff

[rhoda]
you’re a mess

[gordon]
i can’t express what i mean to convey
so of course i didn’t write enough today!

[rhoda]
if you don’t keep writing you’ll be shown the door
you know mr. bungee hates you

[gordon]
i hate mr. bungee!

[rhoda]
i think he hates you more!

[gordon]
why does mr. bungee hate me?

[rhoda]
first off, you’ve gotta finish one song

[gordon]
ugh

[rhoda]
you scoff! but d-mn it, write the “spring” song!
write the “yes” song!
don’t let your career go to the dogs!

[gordon]
as you can tell, i don’t write well for frogs

[mr bungee]
mr. bungee is aquatic and despotic
mr. bungee’s oceanic and satanic
mr. bungee’s said to be tyrannical at times
and mr. bungee always rhymes!

[gordon]
i hate mr. bungee, mr. bungee’s h-m-phobic
i hate bungee and his putrid little son
bungee’s in my face, he dominates, it’s claustrophobic!
when i know my place, he gives me space to hate what i have done!
i hate mr. bungee, i hate mr. bungee!
w-wait, is bungee here?

[rhoda]
yeah, i’m sitting on his face right now
first write the song then next you’ll write the epic
first kid’s tv then next the broadway shows
it’s a rocky road from “lilypad” to where you want to get to, dear
but rhoda always knows

[gordon]
inside me i feel washed up and through

[rhoda]
oh come on, gordon!

[gordon]
writing this shit’s k!lled my talent

[rhoda]
that’s not true!

[gordon]
and whatever’s left to k!ll then bungee will grind that down to squat
i used to be-

[rhoda]
you’re still-

[gordon]
i was-

[rhoda]
i don’t agree!

[gordon]
i once was but i’m not!

[rhoda]
hey… hey, sit down

[gordon]
oh, my…
something is wrong

[rhoda]
gordon, are you okay?

[gordon]
something is wrong

[rhoda]
gordon, you’re scaring me

[gordon]
something is very, very, very wrong
