Uncle Toad Said (Album Version) - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]
Written by:Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:02]
Uncle Toad sittin' by the old south gate[00:00:12]
Waitin' them boys they bin stayin' out late[00:00:15]
Uncle Toad thinks they're way out of line[00:00:18]
Maybe they think he is past his prime[00:00:21]
Uncle Toad said better straighten up right[00:00:27]
When uncle Toad spoke it was not a pretty sight[00:00:30]
Uncle Toad lived in the wood out back[00:00:39]
Lived in the shade of a utility shack[00:00:42]
He looked in at the big brick house[00:00:45]
At the girls as quiet as a mouse[00:00:48]
Uncle Toad said you had best get it right[00:00:53]
When uncle Toad spoke it was not a pretty sight[00:00:56]
Uncle Toad tucked in the compost pile[00:01:11]
Out by the back door look at him smile[00:01:14]
He said kid stop drinkin' that brew[00:01:17]
Plan while ya can or the joke's on you[00:01:20]
Uncle Toad said better straighten up right[00:01:26]
When uncle Toad spoke it was not a pretty sight[00:01:29]
Uncle Toad sittin' by the swimmin' pool[00:01:38]
Sits in the sun when the weather turns cool[00:01:41]
Sits in the sun when the girls walk by[00:01:44]
Maybe they think he's a little bit sly[00:01:47]
Uncle Toad said you had best get it right[00:01:53]
When uncle Toad spoke it was not a pretty sight[00:01:55]
Uncle Toad sittin' by the cool mill race[00:02:10]
All day long with a grin on his face[00:02:13]
He said boys you had better not try[00:02:16]
Kissin' 'em girls cause I won't stand by[00:02:19]
Uncle Toad sittin' by the wrought iron fence[00:02:25]
When uncle Toad spoke it was not a pretty sight[00:02:28]
Uncle Toad sittin' by the wrought iron fence[00:02:37]
Lookin' at the moon like it don't make sense[00:02:40]
We say Toad here's lookin' at you[00:02:43]
Hopin' you get your wish too[00:02:46]
Sway to the left sway to the right[00:02:52]
When uncle Toad spoke it was not a pretty sight[00:02:55]
