[Verse 1]
A bummed out Frank the F#mFrog, yeah
He says, “Life’s a big Ejoke.”
He mumbles to the F#msmog, “Yeah
It might as well be Esmoke.”
He kicks a plastic F#mbag, yeah
It wraps around his Efoot
He’s deep in the F#mdrag, yeah
Thoughts covered in Esoot
[Chorus]
Benny turns the Acorner;
Frank is in F#msight
He says, “What’s the matter AFranky boy?
Are you alF#mright?”
[Verse 2]
He says, “I’m all fucked F#mup now
I know life’s just a Ejoke
And there is no punchF#mline to be found
I might as well just Ecroak.”
He fumbles with his F#mzipper
And Benny steals a Eglance
At Frank’s hollow F#meyes now
And Frank adjusts his Epants
[Chorus]
“Now Frank let me Atell you
If life is a F#mjoke
Then shouldn’t you be Alaughing?
Don’t be a F#mmope.”
