Clarence Frogman Henry - Al Stewart

Tell you a story about, uh, old black singer called Clarence

Frogman Henry.

I wonder who remembers him, anybody at all?

«I don’t know why I love you but I do,» is what he sang, he sang

It very well indeed, it was great.

I, I like frogs in general and

Clarence Frogman Henry is, is, is part of that

And, uh, one, one day Clarence was appearing somewhere, I think

It was, uh, Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee.

It was a long time ago

About twenty years back.

He was appearing at a club and his double

Was walking down the street attracting a lot of attention, because

His double, I mean, a lot of people knew Clarence Frogman Henry in

Memphis.

And his double was walking down the street, and his

Double was in love with Audrey Hepburn, and by the sheerest

Coincidence, which I’m sure you won’t believe, but it’s true

Audrey Hepburn’s double was walking down the other side of the street

And, uh, they reached a point opposite each other and it

Suddenly kind of flashed to both of them that

Like, this was their lifelong love, because Audrey Hepburn’s

Double was a Clarence Frogman Henry fan

So what happened was that they ran into the center of this very

Wide road in Memphis and as they were clasping each other

Two things happened simultaneously.

One was that they both

Realized to their horror that it was neither of them, and the

Second was that they got run down by a, by a gold Cadillac driven

By a man in an Elvis Presley mask

Now, the man in the Elvis Presley mask was actually G. Gordon

Liddy;

this was early on in his career
