Slim Dusty - Cane Toad's Plain Code Lyrics

Send "Cane Toad's Plain Code" ringtone to your cell

One summers morning as i strode

Along a dusty queensland road

I chanced to meet and old cane toad

Bowed down beneath a heavy load

Oh my mind i thought was in a trance

I had to have a second glance

For there in boots and moleskin pants

He stood with proud and haughty stance.

He shed his burdens when i spoke

He wiped his brow and rolled a smoke

And said just like it was a joke

"lend me a quid mate i'm flat broke!"

Oh i thought i must be seeing things

Illusions like the heat wave brings

Until he said with toothless grin

"you look like you've been on a binge."

Oh i said "pray tell me mr toad

Why do you choose to walk the road

And carry such a heavy load

Without a fixed place of abode?"

"well mate" said he "i like to tramp

All day 'til heaven lights it's lamp

And then pull up and make my camp

Besides swamps always give me cramps."

"and while humans try to fight with creed and race

And try to conquer outer space

I just plod on from place to place

And watch this mad old world go it's pace."

I stood and stared as though spellbound

By words of wisdom so profound

And i heard the old cane toad expound

"oh you sure meet some queer blokes knocking 'round."
