Bullfrog Bobby Darin

I was sittin' by the bank on a hollow stump
When I thought I heard me a bullfrog jump
Turned around and sure enough there he sat
He said excuse me, buddy, but I've been readin' your news
And I'm sorry to say that I'm a little confused
You bein' human, well you'd know where it's at

He said I read where this old world's gonna fold
And all on account of a think called gold
And that's somethin' hard for us frogs to understand
Now you're lookin' at me like I'm kinda funny
But where I live we don't have no money
So we want to be hip to the happ'nin's here on land

Now I thought I was stoned so I started walkin'
I mean whoever heard of a bullfrog talkin'
But then I realized I hadn't been grazin' in no grain
So I figured I'd tell him just what I thought
'bout how gold was sold and how gold was bought
And he'd understand our world when I explained

I said it all started a long time ago
When the people first learned to reap and sow
They got all the things they needed right out of the earth
Like how many leaves and how many trees
Would it take to cover up the anatomies
And that's how you figured how much a suit of clothes was worth
