The Toad words and music by Vikki Lee © 2012 Those fine chiseled features that aqualine nose They grow grotesquely absurd Especially when punctuated with those Mispronounced cliches and words That you used to find cute, but now just make you puke Stupidity has its rewards For it sheds such a light on what's no longer right What definitely has run its course He used to be charming, it seems quite alarming How quickly does fade the prize rose? Why is it every handsome young prince eventually becomes the toad... Those flowers and bowers and sunsets and moons Your heart on a tilt a whirl When love was so pleasing the taunting and teasing that thrilled your respectable world Now the butterflies have gone back to cocoons and caterpillars abound Where once you were flying with head in the clouds, both feet are now planted aground He used to be charming, it seems quite alarming How quickly does fade the prize rose? Why is it every handsome young prince eventually becomes the toad... The touch that once thrilled you Now it just chills you and gives your poor belly a turn You feign acute headache When slovenly bedmate, makes his coarse overtures...oh but sure You'll daydream most nightly of some handsome white knight Who'll free you from shackle and chain But it reminds with remorse Hes on the same course all princes are one and the same They used to be charming, it seems quite alarming How quickly does fade the prize rose? Why is it every handsome young prince eventually becomes the toad... Why is it every handsome young prince, too soon becomes the toad.
