I was sittin' by the on a hollow stump I thought I heard me a bullfrog jump Turned and sure enough there he sat He said me, buddy, but I've been readin' your And I'm sorry to say I'm a little You bein' human, well you'd know at.
He said I read this old world's fold And all on account of a called gold And somethin' hard for us frogs to Now you're lookin' at me I'm kinda But where I live we don't no money So we to be hip to the happ'nin's on land.
Now I thought I was so I started I mean whoever of a bullfrog talkin' But then I realized I been grazin' in no So I figured I'd tell him just what I 'bout how was sold and how gold was And understand our world when I explained.
I said it all a long time ago the people first learned to reap and sow They got all the things needed right out of the Like how many leaves and how many Would it to cover up the anatomies And how you figured how much a suit of was worth.
Well then man he learned how to a cow And how to the soil with a stone blade And he so busy he never had time to do you Then he'd take his and all that milk And go into town and trade for silk So his she'd look sharp down at the farm.
the bullfrog let out a belly croak Like I'd told him some of a joke And he said I think you're me my man (what me?) I I know it sounds kinda mystifyin' But the truth of the matter is I ain't I mean I talkin' no bullfrog, you
He now don't get upset I'm not you You go ahead, go ahead and continue And I'll be quiet and try to He I know about trees and leaves and And milk and and the farmer's But what's this thing the call and
I said well I grow cotton and you grow And you find dungarees are all worn And me I got to have somethin' to eat You see? So I make you some new And now you me some fresh corn Pretty soon we'll have shops the street.
Well this didn't work, or so been told And at time they didn't know about So all agreed they'd measure their in salt Well that idea had an early they were eatin' more than they were And besides, heard of keepin' in a vault.
Well folks said gold was the to use To pay for stuff like from ships to But it weighed too much and it too to spend So round sixteen hundred and ninety Somebody started usin' foldin' And the tale, my friend, from end to end.
I thought it was a damn good I a real attempt at communication And I only had me up until the I was ten But the right before he away Well I could have sworn I him say Your world is in the tadpole stage, my friend.
