Toadie



I catch a lot of flies
on the tip of my long, sticky tongue
I really love the ones
that has just been swarming on some dung
I got the skin
to do the dirty jobs
others don’t wanna do
I’m the most loyal wing man roadie
that you ever knew

I’m a toadie thru and thru
I’m a toadie ...
Boss, just tell me what I gotta do

I flick out a lot of lies,
they just roll right off of my slippery tongue
I really love spitting at you — 
not telling the truth ... my words smell like dung
Brown manure from the bung bottom
I got the poisoned skin ... 
come rub next to me, 
and feel my deadly touch
I do what it takes to win;
hiding what you don’t need to see,
and you won’t be seeing much

I’m a toadie thru and thru
I’m a toadie ...
Boss, just tell me what you want me to do

I’m a toadie 
with croaking lips colored blue
Come kiss me, baby ... 
and let me make you a slimy amphibian too
