Long Legged Larry - Aesop Rock

Long Legged Larry was a frog at the pond

Jump so high, might miss him while he gone

Jump over anything, even King Kong

Jumping Jack Flash was his favorite song

Now once upon a time there was a cat in a tree

Chased a squirrel up, been stuck since three

The fireman came, said «It's too high for me»

How’s that cat gonna ever get free?

Young Jack Turner was a staple on the block

Said he knew about a frog with an XL hop

The neighbors started laughing, but Jackie wouldn’t stop

Ran off, came back, guess who he got?

Well, it was Long Legged Larry, didn’t open his mouth

Like a rocket to the moon through a cumulus cloud

Touch down safe, lay the scaredy-cat on the ground

If you listen real close, you can still hear the crowd

Go Larry, go Larry, go, go, go Larry

Go Larry, go Larry, go, go, go, go, go

Larry doesn’t care

Jump so high grow a beard in the air

Jump over anything, even Times Square

Yelling «Long Legged Larry for mayor!

Here!

Here!»

Now once upon a time there was a princess in a cell

In the tower of a castle, through a forest on a hill

Half the men that ever sought her out had fallen ill

All the men that ever tried to climb the wall had fell

Handful gather at the base of the place

Each claim way braver than the bravest you’ve faced

Bunch of dingbats yapping about saving the day

But wait, a silhouetted amphibian face in haze

Well, it was Long Legged Larry on the back of a steed

Leapt up yelling «Jordan!»

Kiss the girl on the cheek

Touch down safe, show the lady back to her peeps

If you listen real close, you can still hear the streets

Go Larry, go Larry, go, go, go Larry

Go Larry, go Larry, go, go, go, go, go

Larry’s on the case

Jump so high pluck a star out of space

Jump over anything, even Salt Lake

Jump into the mosh pit, jump out of a cake

Now once upon a time there was a circus in town

Some went for the cotton candy, some for the clowns

But the high wire act was the most profound

Had a poodle on a unicycle, rose in her mouth

Ten o’clock show get the poodle in position

Ten seconds in the unicycle starts tipping

Now the poodle barely clinging to the wire by her mittens

But what the heck is that thing in the distance?

Ribbit, Long Legged Larry, a sight for sore eyes

Known to give a dog a ride seconds after he arrives

Touch down safe, give her some kibbles and rawhide

If you listen real close, you can still hear the vibe

Go Larry, go Larry, go, go, go Larry

Go Larry, go Larry, go, go, go, go, go
