What a strange name,
Frog and Henry,
A very strange name for a jazz group,
But what a jazz group they were,
Playing jazz from the early days,
We were hooked by their playing.
There they were,
Two violinists and a piano player,
Another playing tuba,
A guy playing guitar and banjo.
Then there were two more,
One playing tenor sax, a clarinet
And a bass clarinet.
And then there was the leader
Playing the clarinet in such a way,
Such a way I had never heard before,
Getting sounds out of it
That I thought impossible.
But not only that
He played soprano, alto and baritone saxophones.
They all sang as well.
Such a wonderful sound they made
It was so wondrous to hear
And so enjoyable that the evening just went.
And as I sit hear
I can still hear them
And wonder why the time went,
Time went so fast.
