Vengeful Frog (Tiana's Curse)
[Intro] [slow eerie piano with distorted swampy violin and breathy coloratura hum] [Verse 1] The kiss burned worse than the fire in my dreams Turned my legs to slime and my screams to steam Dr. Facilier laughed while he took what was left of me Said βwelcome to the bayou, girl, this curse is eternityβ [Pre-Chorus] No prince, no spell, just the mud and the pain [Chorus] Iβm the vengeful frog now, eyes glowing in the dark Swamp water in my veins and a knife in my heart I was supposed to be a princess, supposed to wear the crown Now I drag sailors under and I never let them down [Verse 2] Mama Odie tried to warn me but the deal was already signed Facilierβs shadow man got my soul and my mind Every hop in the mud feels like knives in my bones I smile with these teeth now and Iβm never going home [Chorus] Iβm the vengeful frog now, eyes glowing in the dark Swamp water in my veins and a knife in my heart I was supposed to be a princess, supposed to wear the crown Now I drag sailors under and I never let them down [Bridge] [slow theatrical violin solo with wide seductive coloratura runs building to screaming intensity] The lily pads are graves and the fireflies are eyes Everything in this bayou knows how to lie [Verse 3] Prince Naveen begged me to stay in the water with him But I grew claws and I learned how to swim No happily ever after, no restaurant on the hill Just a dead girl croaking and a hunger that never will [Final Chorus] Iβm the vengeful frog now, eyes glowing in the dark Swamp water in my veins and a knife in my heart I was supposed to be a princess, supposed to wear the crown Now the whole damn bayou knows my name and bows down [Outro] [defiant soaring coloratura ad-libs with distorted violin and fading swamp sounds] The bayou knows my nameβ¦ yeahβ¦
