[Chorus]
    A
I'm hanging around and
dreaming of chicks
       G
And my area code is 516
     D
And I would thrive in the Caribbean
A
But I'm a Long Island amphibian
A
Stuck in a cage until you need me
    G
Sometimes my mom
forgets to feed me
D
Trapped here until oblivion
A
I'm an LI Amphibian
A
Ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit
G
Ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit
D                    A
Ribbit ribbit ribbit
    A
I'm hanging around and
dreaming of chicks
       G
And my area code is 516
     D
And I would thrive in the Caribbean
A
But I'm a Long Island amphibian
A
Stuck in a cage until you need me
    G
Sometimes my mom forgets
to feed me
D
Trapped here until oblivion
A
I'm an LI Amphibian

[Verse 1]
A              D
I don't really fit in with
    E           A
any guardian or peer
A                       D
Because I'm a different species
     E         A
from everybody here

[Chorus]
I'm hanging around and
drеaming of chicks
And my area code is 516
And I would thrive in thе Caribbean
But I'm a Long Island amphibian
Stuck in a cage until you need me
Sometimes my mom forgets to feed me
Trapped here until oblivion
A
I'm an LI Amphibian

[Verse 2]
A         D         E
All of my superiors look
           A
at me with hate
       A
'Cause they don't understand
when I make a noise
          G
Or when I try to escape
or break my toys
D                         A
That's just how I communicate
