Lyrics for Fattening Frogs for Snakes

It took me a long time, to find out my mistakes Took me a long time, to find out my mistakes, It sho'h did man But I bet you my bottom dollar, I'm not fattenin' no more frogs for snakes I found out my downfall, back in nineteen and thirty, I started checkin' I found out my downfall, from nineteen and thirty I'm tellin' all of my friends, I'm not fattenin' no more frogs for snakes All right now Yeah it is nineteen and fifty-seven, I've got to correct all of my mistakes Whoa man, nineteen and fifty-seven, I've got to correct all of my mistakes I'm tellin' my friends includin' my wife and everybody else, Not fattenin' no more frogs for snakes
