Well did you ever wake up with them bullfrogs on your mind? You had to sit there laughin', laughing just to keep from cryin' Well did you ever wake up with that one woman on your mind? Well did you ever wake up with that one woman on your mind? You had to sit there laughin', laughin' just to keep from cryin' ---------------------- ________________________________________________________ DISCLAIMER Views and opinions above are all the conspiratorial work of my hands.
