He I read where this old world's fold And all on of a think called gold And that's hard for us frogs to Now lookin' at me like 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 I'd tell him just what I thought 'bout how was sold and how gold was And he'd understand our world I explained.
I said it all a long time ago When the people learned to reap and sow They got all the things needed right out of the Like how many leaves and how trees Would it to cover up the anatomies And that's how you figured how a suit of was worth.
Well then man he how to milk a cow And how to till the with a stone blade And he so busy he never had time to do you Then he'd take his produce and all milk And go into and trade them for silk So his woman she'd sharp down at the farm.
