Lyrics:
Long legged Larry was a frog at the pond. Jump so high might miss him while he gone. Jump over anything, even King Kong. Jumping Jack Flash was his favorite song. Now once upon a time there was a cat in a tree, chased a squirrel up, been stuck since 3. The fireman came, said “It's too high for me!”. How's that cat gonna ever get free?! Young Jack Turner was a staple on the block. Said he knew about a frog with an XL hop. The neighbors started laughing, but Jackie wouldn't stop. Ran off, came back, guess who he got? Well it was Long Legged Larry - didn't open his mouth. Like a rocket to the moon through a cumulus cloud. Touch down safe, lay the scaredy-cat on the ground. If you listen real close you can still hear the crowd...

Go Larry, Go Larry, Go Go Go Larry
Go Larry, Go Larry, Go, Go, Go, Go, Go

Larry doesn't care. Jump so high grow a beard in the air. Jump over anything, even Times Square, yelling “Long Legged Larry for mayor!, Here! Here!” Now once upon a time there was a princess in a cell, in the tower of a castle, through a forest on a hill. Half the men that ever sought her out had fallen ill. All the men that ever tried to climb the wall had fell. Handful gather at the base of the place. Each claim way braver than the bravest you've faced. Bunch of dingbats yapping about saving the day. But wait, a silhouetted amphibian face in haze…Well It was Long Legged Larry on the back of a steed. Leapt up yelling "Jordan!” Kiss the girl on the cheek. Touch down safe, show the lady back to her peeps. If you listen real close you can still hear the streets…

Go Larry, Go Larry, Go Go Go Larry
Go Larry, Go Larry, Go, Go, Go, Go, Go

Larry's on the case. Jump so high pluck a star out of space. Jump over anything, even Salt Lake. Jump into the mosh pit, jump out of a cake. Now once upon a time there was a circus in town. Some went for the cotton candy, some for the clowns, but the high wire act was the most profound, had a poodle on a unicycle, rose in her mouth. 10 o'clock show get the poodle in position. 10 seconds in the unicycle starts tipping. Now the poodle barely clinging to the wire by her mittens, but what the heck is that thing in the distance? Ribbit! Long Legged Larry, a sight for sore eyes. Known to give a dog a ride seconds after he arrives. Touch down safe, give her some kibbles and rawhide. If you listen real close, you can still hear the vibe…

Go Larry, Go Larry, Go Go Go Larry
Go Larry, Go Larry, Go, Go, Go, Go, Go

Aes gonna come out with a book of nursery rhymes that'll still go harder than some rappers out there.

LARRY DOESN’T CARE, JUMP SO HIGH GROW A BEARD IN THE AIR🗣️

[FearMonarch]

Did aesop really just drop the hottest song ever about a frog jumping

[TheHyperDox]

If that means the children's album is happening, I'm pretty stoked

[PipByMac]

"Jumped so high, grew a beard in the air"

I love this dude's ability to describe something

[Iusethiscomments]

“But what the heck is that thing in the distance?
RIBBIT”
I’ve never been so hyped up by a frog in my life

[AxlPatrol]

I love how Aesop has such a long record of just making music about literally whatever subject he wants.

I work in a mental health ward, i showed your song to one of my clients and he showed it to the whole ward. I want you to know that your song has improved the mental health of some people that really needed it. There would be several moments that were challenging for the people i work with where they are fighting their demons and then someone walks by saying "go larry!" and they start singing your song. Which is awesome because i like your song too, its helped alot man. They even made me a larry out clay =)

[menik]

I never get tired of Aesop Rock giving me examples of how high Larry can jump.

[TroutBoneless]

aes' nursery rhyme raps are honestly among my favorites of his work. he doesnt do em often, but when he does they're so fucking special

[BeezuzChrisT]

The best part about having a pile of kids is making them watch this video and then chanting "GO LARRY, GO LARRY" as a squad. Blessed. Thanks Aes

[daryllthomas]

I love how the first two verses have heroes and haters that can't get the job done. Sometimes you have your own special and unique superpowers, and you just gotta ignore the non believers and step up and save the day.

Also Larry doesn't seem like a proud person. He just does what he feels is right, then moves on to his next adventure. I wish I could harness my inner Larry. Although we should remember that we're all heroes to somebody, even if we're not saving a poodle that fell of a unicycle. Hear, Hear!

[BarryLEE_beatnoff]

Aesop kept it 100% clean for the kids and made a real dope song too.
Aesop is for the children!!!
Aesop for mayor!!!

[DonJuanDecepticon]

Wasn't expecting this to be the day Lary would enter my Life.

[sayntfuu]

Was in a dispensary in the Upper Peninsula in Michigan and picked up some Sticky Larry, a sticky icky bullfrog green Indica. This song has been in my head all week.

Go Larry.

[Catbus-Driver]

I can't stop listening to this lol. All of my friends are getting annoyed and I just tell them that Larry doesn't care, jumps so high grow a beard in the air.

[TylersEclectic]

My daughter loves this song!!! She is 4yrs old! Asks for it everyday!! Would love an album appropriate for her! Keep slaying with the lyrics!

[Garblegox]

I love how Larry's arms always hang like a human's holding him by his armpits.

[Underwood]

Legend has it Larry wrote no rules on the water tower

[Retrograyed]

Man, if we could just get a childrens album from Aesop I might actually have kids just for an excuse to listen to it all the time
