Lyr ADD: I'm in Love with a Big Blue Frog (PP&M)

I seek the words for a comic song recorded sometime in the early to mid-1960s by Peter, Paul & Mary. I never heard the original, and I haven't heard it sung at all since 1968, so I remember only two variations of the chorus and about one stanza and two halves, thus:

I'm in love with a big blue frog And a big blue frog loves me. It's not as bad as it appears; He's got rhythm and a Ph.D.

[... something about families ...] His mother was a Phrog from Philadelphia, And his daddy's an enchanted prince!

I'm in love with a big blue frog, And a big blue frog loves me; It's not as bad as it appears, He wears glasses and he's six foot three.

[... something about children ...] They'll be great-looking, 'cause they'll have my face, And great swimmers, 'cause they'll have his feet!

That the neighbours will complain is very clear to me As it's probably clear to you, Because the value of the property will go right down If the family next door is blue!

Thank you very much for your help.

I'M IN LOVE WITH A BIG BLUE FROG


I'm in love with a big blue frog,
A big blue frog loves me.
It's not as bad as it appears
He wears glasses and he's six foot three.

Well I'm not worried about our kids,
I know they'll turn out neat.
They'll be great lookin' 'cause they'll have my face,
great swimmers 'cause they'll have his feet!

Well I'm in love with a big blue frog,
A big blue frog loves me.
He's not as bad as he appears,
He's got rhythm and a PhD.

Well I know we can make things work
He's got good fam'ly sense.
His mother was a frog from Philadelphia
His daddy an enchanted prince.

The neighbors are against it and it's clear to me
And it's prob'ly clear to you
They think value on their property will go right down
If the family next door is blue.

Well I'm in love with a big blue frog
A big blue frog loves me
I've got it tattooed on my chest
It says P.H.R.O.G. (It's frog to me!)
P.H.R.O.G

e-mail sent.....best wishes, Yvonne
