^^ TOM THE TOAD
(Sung to O Tannenbaum)

Oh Tom the Toad, oh Tom the Toad,
Why did you jump out in the road?
(Repeat)
You used to be so big and fat,
But now you're small and red and flat.
Oh Tom the Toad, oh Tom the Toad.
Why did you jump out in the road?

Oh Tom the Toad, oh Tom the Toad.
Why are you lying in the road?
(Repeat)
You used to hop and jump about,
And now your guts are spilling out.
Oh, Tom the Toad, oh Tom the Toad,
So sad you're lying in the road?

Oh, Sue the Skunk, oh Sue the Skunk,
Why did you make my tires go clunk?
(Repeat)
You didn't look from east to west
Now on the road, there's such a mess.
Oh, Sue the Skunk, oh Sue the Skunk,
Why did you make my tires go clunk?

Oh Sam the Snake, oh Sam the Snake,
why do you lie out there and bake?
(Repeat)
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
(Repeat)
You thought you'd beat that bus across
But now you like a piece of moss
Oh Possum Pete, oh Possum Pete
You're like a Frisbee in the street.

Armadillo Al, Armadillo Al
You had to cross to see your gal
(Repeat)
You used to be so fat and plump
But now you're just a flat speed bump.
Armadillo Al, Armadillo Al
You had to cross to see your gal.
