He said I read this old world's gonna And all on account of a called gold And that's 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 want to be hip to the on land.
Now I thought I was so I started I mean whoever heard of a bullfrog But then I realized I hadn't grazin' in no So I I'd tell him just what I thought how gold was sold and how gold was And understand our world when I explained.
I said it all started a time ago When the first learned to reap and sow They got all the things they right out of the Like how many leaves and how many Would it take to up the anatomies And that's how you figured how a suit of was worth.
Well man he learned how to milk 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 and all that milk And go into and trade them for silk So his woman she'd look sharp at the farm.
