[Verse 1]
Well the river was dark and muddy
And the moon was on the rise
And all of the creatures in the swampland
Had woke up to feed for the night
Roosevelt and Ira Lee were sittin' there on a log
Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt, and said
"I'd sure like to have me a bull frog"

[Chorus]
He said yeah, he say yeah, he said lord it sure tastes good now
It sure tastes good

[Verse 2]
So they slipped on their rubber boots
And walked down to the water's edge
And right away they knew that the night would be a bummer
'Cause Ira Lee stepped on a water mossacin

[Chorus]
They say ugh, they say ugh, they said lord somebody help me now!
Will somebody help me?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt
When he quit his screamin' and kickin'
He said, "Let's forget about the bullfrog legs
And go out and steal us a chicken"
[Chorus]
They say yeah, they say yeah, they said lord it sure tastes good now
I sure love my chicken

[Outro]
Well the river was dark and muddy
And the moon was on the rise
