Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
Ah, this? about two [D]cats, they?re sitting? down by a river in the swimps. (and) They?re sittin? there on a log. This one of ?em is a [E]kind of a big fella and [D](the) other?n is a little bit smaller and he?s got
a long ?billed cap. And they? sitting there pondering on what they? gonna do for the night. And anything the big-guy says (to him) the little guy is for; ?cause he digs, and he? ( ), ?cool.?
So it?s called, [F]?Roosevelt & Ir[D]a Lee?

[Verse 2]
[D]
The river was dark and muddy,
And the moon was on the rise.
And all of the creatures in the swamp-land
Had Had woke up to feed

[Verse 3]
for the night.
[D]Roosevelt and Ira Lee
(huh!) were sittin? there on a log,
And Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt and said,
?I?d sure like to [G]have-a me me
[F]some [D]BULLFROG(s).?

[Verse 4]
He said, ?Yeah. [F]YEAH![G]
Lord.(!) Sure would taste [D]good!?

[Verse 5]
[D]
So they slipped on their rubber boots,
[G]And[D] walked down to the water?s edge.
And right away they knew
the night would be a bummer,
[G]?cause Ira[D] Lee stepped on
a Water Mocc-sin head.

[Verse 6]
He [D]said, [F]?uu[G]hOh, -uuOH! LORD! Somebody
[D]help me!? (heh-heh-heh.)
(HARMONICA)

[Verse 7]
Ira Lee turned to [D]Roosevelt
(when he quit his screaming
and kickin?)
And he said, ?Let?s forget about the Bullfrog Legs,
and go out and steal some [F]chickens.?

[Verse 8]
Ol? Roosevelt said, like [D]this now, ?Yeah. [F]Yeah! [G]OO-oo-oui! Sure Sure
Sure would taste [D]good!... ?Yes it would. (I love my chicken.)?

[Verse 9]
Oh, [D]the river was dark and muddy?

[Outro 1]
