Uncle Toad Said

Uncle Toad sittin' by the old south gate

Waitin' them boys they bin stayin' out late

Uncle Toad thinks they're way out of line

Maybe they think he is past his prime

Uncle Toad said better straighten up right

When Uncle Toad spoke it was not a pretty sight

Uncle Toad lived in the wood out back

Lived in the shade of a utility shack

He looked in at the big brick housr

At the girls as quiet as a mouse

Uncle Toad said you had best get it right

When Uncle Toad spoke it was not a pretty sight

Uncle Toad tucked in the compost pile

Out by the back door look at him smile

He said kid stop drinkin' that brew

Plan while ya can or the joke's on you

Uncle Toad said better straighten up right

When Uncle Toad spoke it was not a pretty sight

Uncle Toad sittin' by the swimmin' pool

Sits in the sun when the weather turns cool

Sits in the sun when the girls walk by

Maybe they think he's a little bit sly

Uncle Toad said you had best get it right

When Uncle Toad spoke it was not a pretty sight

Uncle Toad sittin' by the cool mill race

All day long with a grin on his face

He said boys you had better not try

Kissin' 'em girls cause I won't stand by

Uncle Toad sittin' by the wrought iron fence

Lookin' at the moon like it don't make sense

We say Toad here's lookin' at you

Hopin' you get your wish too

Sway to the left, sway to the right

When Uncle Toad spoke it was not a pretty sight
