Gordon Lightfoot - Uncle Toad Said слова песни
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
