You got cold feet / freezy freezy
You got thin socks / itsy bitsy freezy feety
It’s a god damn cold day / nose is getting sneezy
Feeling stiff and grey / no hot soup to eaty eaty
And all you’ve got is a .. frog
Not a cozy fire / just a regular frog
Not a nice toasty blanket / just a regular frog
Not a warm foot bath / just a regular frog
With its googly eyes / your longtime family frog
Cause all you’ve got is a .. family frog
You wanna generate heat / but not through friction
You sit inside your kitchen / And you’ve got that frog addiction
What the hell, you think / In your mind it goes: “bing”
You grab the frog from the sink / gonna make that froggy sing
Cause Microwaves resolve that contradiction
To make a cold frog hot
three minutes in the microwave
To make a hot frog pop
two more little minutes in the microwave
When you were a tadpole / you couldn‘t warm up anything
You were so much smaller / I could have lost you in the sink
Now that you’ve grown / two-hundred grams or more
It would really leave a trace / if I stepped on you on the floor
Since then I found for you / a place in this family
at least as long as microwaves have electricity
Please don’t explode, my precious toad
Please don’t explode, my precious toad
I want you to keep me warm until I‘m lonely and old
To make a cold frog hot
three minutes in the microwave
To make a hot frog pop
two more little minutes in the microwave
But if you want a warm frog and you don’t want it to pop
Give it into the warm gentle hands of your mother
