I’d also like to be calm like the kings
I am tired of playing in the mud
I’d also like to be calm like the kings
I am tired of screaming loud in the pools
I’d also like to be calm like the kings
But my bitter mouth itches wobbly
Every time I tell it to keep quiet
It throws up the last of its sewage
Its puke spoils the fort’s sweet aroma
And they know it’s me again,
I’d like to be in the fort,
Play and pray among the kings,
Sing and swing along in the fort
Hail and rail in the fort
But my sweet tooth spoils everything for me
I am a frog in the fort
And my sounds hardly make sense even in my Queen’s robe
