Well your honor it started while
I was enjoying the best lunch in the could be provided at short notice
In the Red Lion
I was about halfway through Lobster Thermador
As if in a dream I could hear a distant sound approaching
As if in a dream I heard it draw up in the yard
As if in a dream it was abandoned a vehicle so grand
And he parked it there with no left on guard
As if in a dream I felt my legs begin to buckle
As if in a dream I thought the ground beneath me shook
As if in a dream I was in motion
And with the harmless notion It wouldn't hurt to have a little look
Some say stranger things have happened
Things may not be as they seem
But according to the toad
This whole sorry episode
All came about as if it were a dream
As if in a dream all sense of right and wrong escaped me
As if in a dream I sat down in the drivers seat
As if in a dream though it surprised me the car had hypnotized me
I stepped the brakes and off down the street
As if in a dream I felt my foot upon the pedal
As if in a dream I heard the engine's haunting sound
As if in a dream I lost control and you say the car was stolen
I say it was the other way around
Some say stranger things have happened
Things may not be as they seem
But according to the toad
This whole sorry episode
All came about as if it were a dream
Just picture it your honor the calling of the road
The majesty the grandeur and the power
The car was speeding forwards but I was in a trance
Believing that this was in my finest hour
You must believe that every word is true
The moment that I saw the car I knew
I had to have it!
I have seldom heard a guilty plead proclaimed with such enthusiasm
Watch the amphibian squirming
Watch the amphibian sweat
It's just a case of confirming the sentence you get
Someone who's ego is swollen deserves to be brought down a size
Clearly the car had been stolen
And we'll have Toad Hall as a prize! (Yeah!)
(Some) Some say stranger things have happened
Things may not be as they seem
But according to the toad
This whole sorry episode
All came about as if it were a dream
Go on toad
Just say your sorry
You must know that you've done wrong
Show repentance then your sentence may not be so long
Just admit you stole the motor
Just plead guilty to the crime
Toad be humble for your crumble
When your serving time
Gentlefolk of the duty
Gentlefolk! They're all stoats and weasels!
They just want to steal Toad Hall
That's what this is about can't you see!
Gentlefolk of the duty have you reached your verdict
We have!
What is it
Uh
Guilty!
Missus Clerk will you tell us please
What is the stiffest penalty we can impose
With of course not giving the prisoner the benefit of any doubt
Because there is none
This case presents a slew of violations (Violations)
The like of which this court has long reviled (Long reviled)
Say twelve months for the theft
The owner was bereft
In viewer which the penalty seems mild (It does seem mild)
Add three years for the crime of reckless driving (Which is clement)
Add 15 years for cheeking the police (A heinous crime)
Well that's 19 years which may seem plenty
Let's just round it up to twenty
That's the price one pays to breach the peace (To breach the peace)
Well there we have it
On every single count
The court has found you guilty of the crime
The law is quite specific it places of this kind
The miscreat will serve a lengthy time
So lock him in the dungeons of this town
For 20 years
That's all
This is outrageous!
Now take him down
Watch the tyrant tremble (Watch our poor friend tremble)
Hear the villain scream (Hear our poor friend scream)
Will the bandit understand it isn't all a dream
Watch the tyrant tremble (If he begs the judge for mercy)
Hear the villain scream (It will be to no avail)
Fun is sparser when incarcerated in the jail
There must be an end to every road
Take away his freedom!
Take away that bounder
Take away that rascal Mister Toad!
Toad!
Poop poop
Toad!
