[Verse 1]
Well, he's a toad boy in a walrus skin
Been told too many times
Swimmin's made for fins
So he traded all the lies
A hundred pounds for flies
Said goodbye to the baggy skin
Freezing cold, the calfs for kin

[Verse 2]
He swum with legs
That had a different grace about them
Through the haze
A whip-like tongue for prey about them
Pad to play
And all new friends amphibian
Clean face, no shave
A better life he's livin' in

(Oh-ohoh-ohoh...)

[Verse 3]
Until the farmer came
And he found himself a falconer to
Take away predators likе me
And make marmalade
Of all our hopеs and dreams
Not made for television screens
[Pre-Chorus]
So he ran, he ran
Two trains and a flight
He spent days in the dark, money at night
Singin' maybe someday I'll be free

(Mm-mmm-mmm...)

[Chorus]
If you, if you wanted a bright side
No, I'm not the one
But I think he's alright
I heard he's getting by
I heard he's getting by...
I heard he's getting by...
I heard he's getting by

[Verse 4]
And that he's a toad boy
In a walrus skin
Been told too many times
Quitters never win, so
He traded all the lies...

(Mm-mmm-mmm...)
