Tom the Toad

Tom the Toad

(Tune:  “O Christmas Tree”)

Oh Tom the toad, Oh Tom the toad,

Why are you lying in the road?

You used to be so green and fat,

And now you are so red and flat.

Oh Tom the toad, oh Tom the toad,

Why are you lying in the road?

Oh Sue the skunk, oh Sue the skunk,

Why do you make my tire go clunk?

You did not look from East to West,

Now on the road there’s such a mess.

Oh Sue the skunk, oh Sue the skunk,

Why do you make my tires go clunk?

Oh Sam the snake, oh Sam the snake,

Why do you lie out there and bake?

You did not see that truck go by,

Now you look like a butterfly.

Oh Sam the snake, oh Sam the snake,

Why do you lie out there and bake?

Oh Possum Pete, oh Possum Pete,

There’s nothing left but hair and feet.

You thought you’d beat that bus across,

But now you’re like a pile of moss.

Oh Possum Pete, oh Possum Pete,

There’s nothing left but hair and feet.
