Walking through the streets at night
Nothing much to do
And I saw under an old streetlight
Something small and gray
There's a toad on the road
There's a toad on the ro - oad
There's a toad on the road
And the road's a really dumb place for a toad to be
I thought it was a rock at first
So I almost kicked it
But insight in a sudden burst
Showed me what it was
I saw a toad on the road
There's a toad on the road
There's a toad on the road
And I don't know what he's doing there and neither does he
The toad was nicely camouflaged in the middle of the road
But the road's a really dumb place for a toad to blend in
Walking through the streets at night
Something small and gray
Ooh, I wish it'd go away
Before it gets run over
By a big blue Chevrolet
What's it doing there?
Don't it know
That this ain't a swamp?
What a stupid toad!
I saw it there
And I almost kicked it
But if I'd moved it
That'd be the best thing for it
There's a toad on the road
There's a toad on the ro - oad
There's a toad on the road
And the road's a really dumb place for a toad to be
But if I were a toad I guess that that's where I'd be
