Go Croak In Hell
Playful Broadway-pop with a sassy New Orleans swing; upright bass walking, brushed drums, cartoonish brass hits, and bright piano. Female vocals dripping sarcasm, tight call-and-response backing singers on the hook. Choruses explode with big horn stabs and claps; verses stay nimble and talky, almost spoken-sung.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Once upon a time
Bad day
Bad spell
Dropped a ring
Got a frog
Straight out the well
He said
“True love’s kiss
” I said
“That won’t sell”
Smiled real sweet
Thought
Go croak in hell
Pushed his slimy butt right back down that stone
Counted to ten
Thought I’m finally alone
Then I hear
“Hey babe
You dropped your phone!”
He hops back up like a rolling stone
Chorus
Go croak in hell
My little green curse
Every scheme I try
You just come back worse
You want a kiss? Boy
I can barely exhale
Pack your bags
Amphibian
Go croak in hell
Verse 2
Booked a one-way ride on a lily pad boat
Little “accident
” oops
Hole in the float
He sank down slow with a bubbling note
Came back riding on a gator in a velvet coat
Drew up a menu
Candlelight scene
Seven course dinner
Plates all clean
Soup du jour
Salad
Then the main cuisine
“Tonight’s special: frog” on page thirteen
I sharpened knives
Tied back my hair
Seasoned that skillet like I just don’t care
Lifted the lid—empty pan
Cold air
He’s at the table with a chef’s hat
Spare
Chorus
Go croak in hell
My little green curse
Every scheme I try
You just come back worse
You want a kiss? Boy
I can barely exhale
Pack your bags
Amphibian
Go croak in hell
Bridge
Tried a tower room with a locked-up door
He slid ‘neath the crack on the marble floor
Tried a royal ball with a brand-new dress
He shows up crooning
“Princess
Say yes”
low vocal register
Tried being honest
Tried being mean
Tried pretending I liked him
If you know what I mean
big belt
But fate keeps yelling
“Girl
Can’t you tell?
You’re stuck with this frog till you wish him well”
Chorus
Go croak in hell
Chorus
