it worked in Reverse it turned him into

all frog what a nightmare that must have

been it was terrible

then you told me the story about the

pretty girl kissing the Frog and turning

him into a handsome fella and that

worked just dandy

wonderful even his feet is perfect his

feet oh Miss Jane you should have seen

him

they was that long and black

and webbed just like a frog

turn into a handsome man well he might

not turn into a movie star can't be a

winner all the time but what do you got

ugly frog on my desk

oh granted oh he's yours

bye there Mr Frog see you're a cute

little thought

oh he ain't a fella yet but he might be

after Miss James kiss kiss oh granny

believes there's some validity to the

old story about the maiden who kisses

the frog and turns him into a handsome

man granny that's what

d*ck I say it ain't I say I seen it

happen now are you saying I'm a liar oh

absolutely not but if you think Miss

Hathaway should kiss the Frog I think

she ought to try it

she don't have to do it in front of us

in fact if she'd rather not she don't

have to kiss him at all oh thank you

Granny

you can have as hind legs for supper

that's the beauty of a frog you can kiss

them or cook them

oh would it be all right with you if

Mark learns me to scuba

getting to a rubber suit and learning to

swim underwater like a

friend no danger to it oh Mark I'll take

good care of me don't you worry

foreign

foreign

[Music]

I can't see

oh no boy

why wouldn't you listen to me

I begged you to stay out of the water I

pleaded with you I know this would

happen

well there's only one person I know

that's smart enough to help me more bad

dreams granny oh this is worse than a

bad dream Miss Jane well I think I know

someone who can help you Granny he's a

doctor here in the building a

psychiatrist he's excellent at this sort

of thing I'm sure I can get him to see

you immediately

did you hear that Mark he's gonna get

hit for you

how do you do I'm Dr cling howdy doctor

I'm granny and this is Mark Templeton

nice looking frog you want to see him in

his uniform he's handsome his uniform

he's a lieutenant in the United States

Navy

Miss Hathaway said you had a problem and

you do

now why don't you just lie down over

here and tell me all about it well he's

the one with the problem if he goes back

to the Navy like

life you're going to salute him well

then why don't you both make yourself

comfortable

now

begin at the beginning and tell me all

about it well

he come to the house a few days ago and

commenced court with my granddaughter

I see

did your granddaughter think about that

oh she liked him straight off now she's

head over heels in love with them with

uh Mark here yeah I think she wants to

marry him

did you by any chance bring your

granddaughter with you today

no I left her home

bad and tell me has she ever become fond

of any other creatures uh for example a

bird or a mouse well she ain't much for

mice but she's got a pigeon she's real

crazy about

pigeon as well they're very nice and

then of course there's Elmer the raccoon

and Ralph the possum

but has she ever expressed a desire to

marry either of them

oh no she likes them but Mark here is

the only one that she's serious about

I'm awfully sorry you didn't bring her

along

you'd like her she's a real Beauty

she sounds like it

I think one of the reasons she took the

mark straight off is that he looks so

much like his brother

handsome Rascals

uh is Mark's brother in the Navy too no

he's a preacher

and tell me granny exactly what would

you like me to do to help you he won't

listen to me will you please tell him to

stay out of the water mark stay out of

the water
