Uncle Toad Said Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

Uncle Toad Said Lyrics

    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
