lyrics

I bring to you the story
of the Dragon and the Toad.
A tale lost to the world
from a long, long time ago.

A dragon found a little toad
and thought he’d have some fun.
He threatened to eat the toad.
“Little Toad, you’d better run.”

Said the Toad to the Dragon,
“I’m much greater than you see.
It’s not a boast, but a truth.
You should be afraid of me.”

“I know you’re quite majestic,
renowned for might and wealth,
but as a creature of death,
I can strip away your health.”

“Little Toad I can see that
you were born with a big mouth.
You speak in tongues way too bold.
What are you talking about?”

"Dragon, you’ve got fire, flight and riches,
and of course, they make you great.
My power is the greatest.
You can’t resist your fate."

Now the Dragon was angry.
The Toad had challenged his might.
This was unacceptable,
so he ate him in one bite.

The dragon smiled in triumph
and thought himself the best.
His meal went down the wrong way
and the toad choked him to death.
