Lyrics
A-way out west in Blankety Blank,
A bull frog jumped from bank to bank,
‘Cause he never could find nothin’ better to do.
He croaked all night and slept all day,
‘Til he croaked and slept his life away,
‘Cause he never could find nothin’ better to do.

CHORUS
And a lot of folks are like that foolish frog of mine,
Runnin’ into trouble just to pass away the time.
And the devil’s always lookin’ around and waitin’ to grab that kind,
‘Cause they (he) never can find nothin’ better to do.

That frog of mine was mighty fond
Of jumping in his neighbor’s pond,
‘Cause he never could find nothin’ better to do.
He jumped around to beat the band,
‘Til he jumped into a frying pan,
‘Cause he never could find nothin’ better to do.

CHORUS

We buried that frog and the preacher said,
“You know why this poor frog is dead?
‘Cause he never could find nothin’ better to do.”
“So all you frogs hear what I preach
And treat your friends like the Good Book teach,
‘Cause you never will find nothin’ better to do.”

CHORUS

Now all you people who sing this song,
Remember why this frog went wrong,
‘Cause he never could find nothin’ better to do.
So keep on working at any old pay,
‘Til the big horn blows on Judgment Day,
‘Cause you never will find nothin’ better to do.

CHORUS
