Story Behind The Song
When I was a kid I used to catch frogs for fishing. They were the best bait for bass!
I used to sell them to a ditch mower guy who used to come around and was a friend of the family.
I looked forward to him coming around just like kids wait for the ice cream truck.

Lyrics
Come Back Froggy, Come Back
by Roy Liljequist
Come back froggy, come back.
Come back froggy, come back.
I caught you once but then you hopped away.
Come back froggy, come back.
I'm gonna get you yet,
even if I have to use a king size net.
I'm gonna get you on my hook,
so don't give me that disgusting look.
Come back froggy, come back.
Come back froggy, come back.
I caught you once but then you hopped away.
Come back froggy, come back.
I'm gonna fish,
yes I'm gonna fish.
I'm going fishing and I need bass bait,
my vision's freshly cooked and sitting on my plate.
So come back froggy, come back.
Come back froggy, come back.
I caught you once but then you hopped away.
Come back froggy, come back.
