So you've not met Mister Toad
Well your in for quite a treat
Of all the river bankers he's the one you have to meet
How would one describe him
Well I'd hate to use a label
But the word I think that sums him up
Unstable!
It's true!
Toad has no stability at all
Especially in a boat
Speed is of the essence
There is little doubt
Speed is the quintessence
Of what Toad is all about
And if it's bigger, brighter, faster
And goes flash!
Or zoom!
Or whizz!
Without a thought
The item's bought
And Toad has made it his
There's always something better
There's always something new
There's always something reckless that amphibian will do
There's always some new gadgetry to satisfy his thirst
Some new fangled contraption and he has to have it first!
There's always something flashy
That's always hard to steer
There's always some adventure that he has to pioneer
There's always some new gizmo that he'll purchase on a whim
For self control has never been an obstacle to him!
Speed is an affliction
Sadly overlooked
Speed is an addiction
And alas poor Toad is hooked
And if its nippy, snazzy, faddish
And can go at quite a lick!
The deal is done
You better run
Take cover pretty quick
There's always something pricy
There's always something chic
There's always some new craze that he's forgotten in a week
There's always some essential that he thinks will give him clout
So pity all the rest of us that have to do without!
His taste is rather fickle
His thoughts hop here and there
It lands him in a pickle
But he doesn't seem to care! (He doesn't seem to care!)
There's always some new fashion that makes him look a toff
There's always something fancy and he has to show it off
There's always something stiddy that he thinks is rather swish!
Now if you please excuse me I must go and catch some fish
Well your in for quite a treat
Of all the river bankers he's the one you have to meet
How would one describe him
Well I'd hate to use a label
But the word I think that sums him up
Unstable!
It's true!
Toad has no stability at all
Especially in a boat
Speed is of the essence
There is little doubt
Speed is the quintessence
Of what Toad is all about
And if it's bigger, brighter, faster
And goes flash!
Or zoom!
Or whizz!
