Frogs Just Want to Amplex*

by Kathy Morgan

(sung to the tune of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," by Cindy Lauper)

They start to call as soon as light fades
from every pool of water, every damp soggy glade
They're just looking for the opposite sex
'Cause frogs just want to amplex
Frogs just want to amplex

Peeps ring out in the middle of the night
Charles Darwin says "Whacha gonna do? That's just life!"
Frog territories--they strive to protect
'Cause frogs just want to amplex
Oh, frogs just want to amplex

That's all they really want--
To grab
Some female by her gravid abs
Frogs--just want to amlex
Oh frogs just want to amplex

Each guy takes his lovely female
And sneaks off behind the reedy cattails
You know then what that male expects
'Cause frogs just want to amplex
Frogs just want to amplex

That's all they really want--
To grab
Some female by her gravid abs
Frogs--just want to amlex
Oh frogs just want to amplex

Oh, frogs just want to amplex
Frogs just want to amplex
They just wanna, they just wanna....
They just wanna, they just wanna....
Frogs just want to amplex
