Lonnie Johnson - The Bull Frog And The Toad (1930) lyrics

Seen the bull frog and the toad, shakin’ it, breakin’ it with the load.

The load got heavy and the toad eased out, you should’ve seen the way that bull frog pout.

Croakin’ knee deep in dust, my back is about to bust.

I’m so tired, and that ain’t all, got to keep movin’ I can’t stall.

The bull frog said, “toad shut you mouth, ‘cause I’m just a big frog from the south.

Toad yelled, “from the size of your lips, if you got brains a snake’s got hips.”

Croakin’ knee deep in dust, my back is ‘bout to bust.

I’m so tired, and that ain’t all, I got to keep movin’ I can’t stall.

“Shake your dusty on down the road,” said the bull frog to the toad.

“My sweet frog is waiting and here I am, come on good, lets do a swam.”

Croakin’ knee deep in dust, my back is ‘bout to bust.

I’m so tired, and that ain’t all, I got to keep movin’ I can’t stall.

“I got a date at half-past-two,” said the bull frog to the googlely-goo.

“Me sweet frog is waiting behind the stump, and when we get together we bumpty-bump.”

Croakin’ knee deep in dust, my back is ‘bout to bust.

I’m so tired, and that ain’t all, I got to keep movin’ I can’t stall.

“Get that knapsack off the ground, stop your chinnin’ lets go to town.

You’s a bull frog and I’m a toad, we got to move this heavy load.”

Croakin’ knee deep in dust, my back is ‘bout to bust.

I’m so tired, and that ain’t all, I got to keep movin’ I can’t stall.

La da da da da da da, la da da da la da da.

La da la da la da da, la da la da la da da.

La da da da da, la da da da da.

La da da da da da da, la da da da la da da.
