lyrics

Why did the chickie cross the road?
To give a little kiss to the ugly old toad
“I’m so glad you came my way but I’m not gonna let you get away.”

I’m gonna make you mine
Nowhere left to hide

Well Chickie got scared and she wanted to leave but the toad had another trick up his sleeve
“There’s one way out of this muddy hole you gotta sing me a song with all your soul.”

I’m gonna make you mine
You’re gonna be my bride

Chickie sang with a haunted desperation that only a prisoner could know

Toad looked Chickie straight in the eye said “I think it’s time I let this songbird fly”
But Chickie never sang like that before and said “Think I’ll stick around and learn a little more”

I’m gonna make you mine
All I need is time
