about

Here’s some things you should know about Larry. His legs are long. His heart is true. His heroics are unmatched.

Leaky faucet? Stolen bike? Trouble with your math homework? Fear not! Larry is here and he’s got what it takes to ease your troubles. We can’t keep this green guy away from a good cause!

The song Long Legged Larry details 3 instances where Larry’s valiance shines. Draftsman and renowned amphibian consultant Jeremy Fish created the artwork and helped visualize Larry in the form of a beautiful plush toy with sick shorts and a big beard. Furthermore - visionary Rob Shaw has captured some of this frog’s finer moments through the magic of stop-motion animation in a music video available right now for your viewing pleasure.

lyrics

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 3. 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...

(HOOK)
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…

(HOOK)
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. 10 o'clock show get the poodle in position. 10 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…

(HOOK)
Go Larry, Go Larry, Go Go Go Larry 
Go Larry, Go Larry, Go, Go,  Go, Go, Go
