He said I read where old world's gonna And all on account of a think called And somethin' hard for us frogs to Now you're at me like I'm kinda But where I live we don't have no So we to be hip to the happ'nin's on land.
Now I thought I was so I started I mean whoever of a bullfrog talkin' But then I I hadn't been grazin' in no So I figured I'd tell him just I thought 'bout how gold was and how gold was And understand our world when I explained.
I it all started a long time ago When the first learned to reap and sow They got all the things they needed out of the Like how many and how many trees it take to cover up the anatomies And that's how you figured how much a of was worth.
Well then man he learned how to a cow And how to till the soil a stone blade And he kept so busy he never had to do you Then he'd take his produce and all that And go into town and trade for silk So his woman she'd look down at the farm.
Well the bullfrog let out a belly Like I'd him some kind of a joke And he said I think jivin' me my man (what me?) I said I it sounds kinda mystifyin' But the of the matter is I ain't lyin' I mean I talkin' no bullfrog, you
