	Story Behind the Song I first heard this song recorded by Christian artist Ed Kilbourne. I LOVED IT! It had a nice bouncy rhythm the way he played it. And it was playful and childlike...BUT it didn't fit for the Renaissance Faires. I worked with it and worked with it. Finally, I changed the time signature to 3/4 time and threw on an accent. Voila instant RenFaire hit! Since then Frog Kissing is one of our most popular songs. It has all the charm of the music that people associate with the Brobdingnagian Bards.

By the power of a potion, she handed him the notion He was lower than the dirt in the road. And though she left him green and warted, her evil plans were thwarted Their chanced to happen by a young miss Who in spite of his complexion, offered him affection And broke the wicked curse with her kiss   ch So if you've never been frog kissing Then you don't know what you've been missin', There's a wealth of opportunity under each and every log. And if you've never been charm-breakin', Then you've never been handsome prince makin'. You've got to slow down, turn around, bend down, Kiss you a frog! Once upon a time ago, I was down and feelin' low Like a lonely frog in a pond My life was just a joke, and I was just about to croak Cuz I'd been zapped by life's wicked wand. But in the depths of my depression, there came a true expression Of love from a person so sweet. She gave me warm fuzzy feelings, feelings that were healin' And she knocked me off my little webbed feet.   ch There's a happy-ever-after-land, deep in the heart of man Where a prince and princess abides. But all we get are glimpses, of the happy prince or princess 'Cauce they're covered with a green warty hide. Though they're full of life's potential, they're lacking one essential To enable them to shine like a star. That's a handsome guy or missus, to smother them with kisses And love them just the way that they are.   ch That's the secret of frog kissing You can do it too if you'll just listen There's a wealth of opportunity under each and every log. That's the secret of charm-breakin', That's the secret of handsome prince makin'. You've got to slow down, turn around, bend down, Kiss you a... Slow down, turn around, bend down, Kiss you a... Slow down, turn around, bend down, and kiss you a frog! KEY C (Am) verse: Am E7 F G G7 C D Am A7 Dm A7 Dm-A7-Dm D7 G D G chorus: G7 C A7 Dm G7 Am G7 C A7 F F G Am
