Letra
0:23One hot night in the middle of June
0:26In a Lousiana Bayou by the light of the moon
0:29By the bank of a river on an old dead log
0:33Sat a shiny black scorpion and a big green frog
0:44Now the water was deep and the river was wide
0:47And the Scorpion had commitments on the opposite side
0:51She said hey Mr Froggy Id be mighty obliged
0:54If I could hop on your back and
0:56You could give me a ride
0:58Shoulda known
1:02Shoulda known
1:05Well my friends oh see me crying
1:07And all they can say is shoulda known
1:13Frog said Id love to but theres just one thing
1:16You got a bad reputation for a terrible sting
1:20If I take you 'cross the River like you're askin me to
1:23How do I know you won't sting me
1:25When the journey is through
1:35The scorpion said 'man don't believe
1:37The hype don't you fall for that tired old stereotype'
1:42If you do me this favor and deliver me there
1:45I will tell you a little secret only scorpions share
1:49Shoulda known
1:52Shoulda known
1:56Well my friends oh see me crying
1:58But all they can say is
2:00Shoulda known
2:03So our friends started out across the perilous flood
2:07And the scorpion weighed more than the frog thought she would
2:10But the froggy was strong and he knew hed prevail
2:14'Til he felt the deadly point of that scorpions tail
2:19Oh oh oh no
2:25So the water swept over the unfortunate pair
2:28And the froggy cried out with the last of his air
2:32He said 'why did you do it now you're goin down too'
2:36Said the Scorpion 'its my nature thats what scorpions do'
2:39You shoulda known
2:43You shoulda known
2:46Well my friends oh see me crying
2:48And all they can say is
2:51You shoulda known alright
3:23Well I met her downtown in a bleecker street bar
3:26Serenading some drunks for the tips in a jar
3:30Well I knew her reputation from the old grapevine
3:33But she sounded so sweet and she looked so fine
3:44Well she shot me a smile and she bought me a beer
3:48And she told the saddest story that you ever will hear
3:52My judgement dissolved in a bottle wine
3:55I was reading her lips and she was reading my mind
3:59Shoulda known shoulda
4:01Shouldn't known
4:02I shoulda known shoulda
4:05Shouldn't know
4:06Well my friends oh see me crying
4:08And all they can say is
4:10Shoulda known
4:13Now if call a this story isn't perfectly plain
4:16Know that happy ever after ain't the final refrain
4:20But my times getting short and the story is long
4:24But suffice it to say you find me singin' this song
4:28Shoulda known shoulda
4:30Shoulda know
4:31Shoulda known
4:34Shoulda known
4:35Well my friends oh see me crying
4:37But all they can say is
4:39Shoulda known
4:42Well my friends oh see me crying
4:44And all they can say is
4:46Shoulda known
