The Vicar and The Frog lyrics

There once was a very very holy vicar

'Was walking alone the street one day,

When he heard a little voice sayin':

"Excuse me vicar, O help me vicar",

the voice did say.

The vicar look'd about, but all he could see

Was a tiny little frog sitting on the ground.

"O my little froggie did you speak to me?

Was it you who spoke when I heard that sound?"

"Oh yes!" said the frog "Oh help me vicar,

'Cause I am not a frog, you see!

I'm a choir boy, really, but a very wicked fairy

Put a nasty spell on me!

The only way, that I can be saved,

From this wicked spell" the little frog said,

"Is for someone to take me,

And put me in the place,

where a very holy man

Has laid his head!"

[Solo of Ronnie]

So the vicar took him home,

Put him on 'is pillow,

And there he lay till the break of day.

The very next morning: a blessed miracle!

The spell was lifted, I'm glad to say!

For there was a choir boy in bed with the vicar,

And I hope you think this all make sense,

'Cause there, my lord, and members of the jury,

Rests the case of the Vicar.
