Young Mr. Toad
Young Mr. Toad, he made his abode Under the garden wall He thought that he was fair to see Elegant, slim and tall He had a jewel in his head At least so several people said But since he had no looking glass He could not see himself, alas
Young Mr. Toad, he left his abode Under the garden wall He hummed a song as he hopped along And wondered what might befall If I could but find a looking glass To see my goodly presence I then would dwell content and well Here in this leafy pleasance
He met a snail and a twinkly tale And a slug which he promptly swallowed A dragonfly bright and a walk-by-night Which wriggled away when he followed He met a flea and a bumblebee Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And a cricket chirped in the grass But never sight or dim or bright Of ever a looking glass
He hopped along but now his song Was checked full suddenly For he came where a pool was shining cool Under the bright blue sky He hopped to the edge and he sat on the edge And he looked in the water clear But what did he see, oh what did he see Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear
For dapper trimness, for elegant slimness For jewel in the head A horrible sight, a perfect fright Did meet his eyes instead No high and haughty but knobby and warty The ugly image showed It looked, I tell you true it looked Exactly like a toad
