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
