He'll Never Know Lyrics
Frog (spoken):
Look at all these leaves!
Toad (spoken):
Look at all these leaves!
Frog (spoken):
I know, I will go and rake Toad’s yard, and he will have a wonderful surprise!
Toad (spoken):
I know, I will go and rake Frog’s yard, and he will have a wonderful surprise!
(sung)
he’ll never know!
Frog:
He will not ever suspect
Toad:
Who raked the yard
Frog:
Nor will he ever detect
Both:
He will come home
Toad:
He’ll scratch his head
Frog:
He’ll furrow his brow
Toad:
He’ll stroke his chin
Both:
And wonder how, how—OW, my aching back!
Toad:
The work is slow
Frog:
Oh, what a tedious chore
Toad:
And kinda dull
Frog:
Raking is rather a bore
Both:
But despite a little ache,
I’m gonna rake, rake, rake, rake
Ache, ache, ache
(they proceed to rake, doing it to the beat of the music in a choreographed fashion)
Both:
He’ll wonder what
What in the world has occurred
And when he asks
I will not utter a word
He’ll wonder how
How could this possibly be?
He’ll wonder who
He might even think it was me!
But if he asks—
Frog (spoken):
Frog?
Toad (spoken):
Toad?
Both:
Was it you?
Not me! Well then, who?
Who raked up the mess?
Toad:
I haven’t a guess
Frog:
I haven’t even a clue
Both:
Hee, hee, hee, hee
Ha, ha, ho, ho
Who?
I wish I could see him see it!
He’ll do a double take!
Frog:
It’s inconceivable!
Toad:
It’s unbelievable!
Both:
I left the leaves,
The leaves have left,
And I never lifted a rake!!
Frog (spoken):
Well, this job is done. It’s time to walk home.
Toad (spoken):
Well, this job is done. It’s time to walk home!
Frog (spoken):
Hello, squirrel!
Squirrel 1 (spoken):
Hello Frog.
Toad (spoken):
Hello, squirrel!
Squirrel 2 (spoken):
Hello, Toad.
Squirrel 1 (spoken):
Look at this pile of leaves in Toad’s yard!
Squirrel 2 (spoken):
Look at this pile of leaves in Frog’s yard!
Both (spoken):
LET’S MESS ‘EM UP!
Frog:
He’ll never know!
Think of how happy he’ll be
He’ll never know!
Almost as happy as me
Toad (singing under Frog):
Think of how happy,
how happy he’ll be!
Almost as happy,
As happy as me!
Both:
He’ll never ever, ever know!
He’ll never ever, ever know!
He’ll never ever, ever know—
(they spot their own messy yards that have been messed up by the squirrels)
(spoken)
I’ll rake my leaves tomorrow.
Look at all these leaves!
Toad (spoken):
Look at all these leaves!
Frog (spoken):
I know, I will go and rake Toad’s yard, and he will have a wonderful surprise!
Toad (spoken):
I know, I will go and rake Frog’s yard, and he will have a wonderful surprise!
