Frog On My Toe  

Poppa I know there's a frog on my toe maybe I'll call him Jethro maybe I'll grow up to be as wise and good as he and maybe I'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 you strong little girl you paint them toes the 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 in funny little chants like an Indian Brave you said, "We all grew fat when the white man came." but one day girl you gonna learn to make 'em crawl make 'em grow tall but have the grace to be a lady with disgrace and you fry them taters and make them with lady's hands I know your my Pappy's baby
