Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It took me a long time
To find out my mistake
Took me a long time
A long time
To find out my mistake
It sure did, man
But I bet you my bottom dollar
I'm not fattenin' no more
Frogs for snakes
[Verse 2]
I found out my downfall
Back in nineteen and thirty
I started checkin'
I found my downfall
From nineteen and thirty
I'm tellin' all of my friends
I'm not fattenin' no more
Frog for snakes
All right now
[Verse 3]
Yeah, it is nineteen and fifty seven
I've got to correct all of my mistakes
Whoa, man, nineteen and fifty seven
I've got to correct all of my mistakes
I'm tellin' my friends
Includin' my wife
And everybody else
Not fattenin' no more frog for snakes
