He I read where this old world's gonna And all on of a think called gold And that's somethin' for us frogs to Now you're at me like I'm kinda But where I live we have no money So we to be hip to the happ'nin's on land.
Now I I was stoned so I started I mean heard of a bullfrog talkin' But then I realized I hadn't grazin' in no So I I'd tell him just what I thought 'bout how gold was sold and how was And he'd understand our when I explained.
