~> Another Meal, On The Fly! - Form Trijan Refrain -

Thad Wilk

I'm just your average tree-frog guy,

don't mean to bother you.

I was chasing a yummy fly,

'tis what I love to do.

I've tried so hard I must admit,

It shan't escape the little shit.

I've tried so hard,

I've tried so hard.

Now finally I'll capture it!

^^

I'm just your average tree-frog guy,

just doin' what I like.

I'm persistent you can't deny,

with prowess I shall strike!

I've trapped him now there's no way out.

It makes me want to "hop" and shout.

I've trapped him now,

I've trapped him now.

Vick'try is mine there is no doubt.

^^

I'm just your average tree-frog guy,

so glad you let me in.

That tasty fly 'twas for to die,

still drooling from my chin.

Now I must go I caught my mark.

I've gotta leave 'fore it gets dark.

Now I must go,

now I must go.

There's more flies down at Central Park~

    I didn’t know about that form, but I have my own tree frog that lives in my bathroom and serenades me at night. He eats my flies and mosquitoes, and I have to be careful before I flush because he swims in my toilet.

      Modesty does not become you, tree-frog guy -
      You got Thad going with his Trijan Refrain.
      Come round an keep them flies out of my fry;
      I don’t want to see that blue-bottle again.

      Howdee, Thad – after that break you’re back with sensible engaging poetry once more – well done, Sir.
