Hot Frogs on the Loose
Words and music by Fred Small © 1993

By the light of the Tennessee moon
From the bilious bubbles of a black lagoon
They make a hound dog howl, a SWAT team swoon
Hot frogs on the loose.

They've multiplied since '53
Slurping nuclear debris
Amphibious, fabulous, fancy free
Hot frogs on the loose.

	CHORUS:
	Hippity hoppity here they come
	Radioactive, lookin' for fun
	If you kiss 'em look out for the tongue.
	Hot frogs on the loose. <scream/frogs>

They got little skinny legs and big bug eyes
Fraternizing's not advised
They like you like they like flies
Hot frogs on the loose.

They got a chicken nugget body and a whopper leap
In your bedroom while you sleep
They'll make your Geiger counter beep
Hot frogs on the loose.

	CHORUS:
	Hippity hoppity here they come
	Radioactive, lookin' for fun
	If you kiss 'em look out for the tongue.
	Hot frogs on the loose. <scream/frogs>


		You can put the pedal to the metal till the rubber squeals
		Squish 'em with your tires--you got hot wheels
		Now you know how it feels to be a
		Hot frog on the loose.

Please do not keep them as pets
Sauteing them may bring regrets
Make a citizen's arrest of a
Hot frog on the loose.

Frogs for peace, frogs for defense
Don't be nervous, don't be tense
We've got a sure-fire three-foot fence
To keep the hot frogs from gettin' loose.

CHORUS

This song was inspired by a real incident: frogs breeding in contaminated ponds at the atomic energy lab in Oak Ridge, Tennessee became radioactive and were setting off detectors and alarms as they hopped around the complex.  They had to build a special frog fence to contain the frogs.
