Cane Toad's Plain Code (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]

One summers morning as I strode[00:00:03]

Along a dusty queensland road[00:00:05]

I chanced to meet and old cane toad[00:00:07]

Bowed down beneath a heavy load[00:00:09]

Oh my mind I thought was in a trance[00:00:12]

I had to have a second glance[00:00:14]

For there in boots and moleskin pants[00:00:16]

He stood with proud and haughty stance[00:00:18]

He shed his burdens when I spoke[00:00:22]

He wiped his brow and rolled a smoke[00:00:24]

And said just like it was a joke[00:00:26]

Lend me a quid mate I'm flat broke[00:00:28]

Oh I thought I must be seeing things[00:00:31]

Illusions like the heat wave brings[00:00:33]

Until he said with toothless grin[00:00:36]

You look like you've been on a binge[00:00:38]

Oh I said pray tell me Mr toad[00:00:41]

Why do you choose to walk the road[00:00:43]

And carry such a heavy load[00:00:45]

Without a fixed place of abode[00:00:47]

Well mate said he I like to tramp[00:00:51]

All day 'til heaven lights it's lamp[00:00:53]

And then pull up and make my camp[00:00:55]

Besides swamps always give me cramps[00:00:57]

And while humans fight with creed and race[00:01:01]

And try to conquer outer space[00:01:03]

I just plod on from place to place[00:01:05]

And watch this mad old world go it's pace[00:01:07]

I stood and stared as though spellbound[00:01:12]

By words of wisdom so profound[00:01:14]

And I heard the old cane toad expound[00:01:16]

Oh you sure meet some queer blokes knocking 'round[00:01:18]
