I was sittin' by the bank on a stump I thought I heard me a bullfrog jump Turned around and sure there he sat He excuse me, buddy, but I've been your news And I'm to say that I'm a confused You bein' human, well you'd know at.
He I read where this old world's fold And all on of a think called gold And somethin' hard for us frogs to Now you're lookin' at me I'm funny But where I we don't have no money So we to be hip to the happ'nin's on land.
Now I thought I was so I walkin' I mean whoever heard of a bullfrog But then I realized I hadn't been in no So I figured I'd tell him what I thought how gold was sold and how gold was And he'd understand our when I explained.
I said it all started a long ago When the people first to reap and sow They got all the things they needed out of the Like how many leaves and how trees it take to cover up the anatomies And that's how you figured how a suit of was worth.
Well then man he learned how to a cow And how to till the soil with a 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 them for So his woman she'd sharp down at the farm.
Well the bullfrog let out a belly I'd told him some kind of a joke And he said I you're jivin' me my man (what me?) I said I know it sounds mystifyin' But the truth of the matter is I ain't I I ain't talkin' no bullfrog, you
He said now don't get I'm not you You just go ahead, go ahead and And I'll be and try to understand He said I know trees and leaves and And milk and silk and the But what's this thing the supply and
I said well I grow cotton and you grow And you find dungarees are all worn And me I got to have somethin' to eat You see? So I make you some new And now you bake me fresh corn Pretty soon we'll have across the street.
Well this work, or so we've been told And at time they didn't know about So they all agreed measure their in salt Well that idea had an endin' 'cause were eatin' more than they spendin' And besides, whoever heard of in a vault.
Well folks said was the thing to use To pay for stuff like from to shoes But it too much and it looked too to spend So round sixteen hundred and ninety Somebody started foldin' money And that's the tale, my friend, end to end.
I thought it was a damn good I mean a real at communication And I had me schoolin' up until the I was ten But the bullfrog before he away Well I could have sworn I him say Your world is in the tadpole stage, my friend.
