Uncle Toad sittin' by the old south gate
蟾蜍大叔 独坐南门旧墙边
Waitin' them boys they bin stayin' out late
守候那群夜不归宿的少年
Uncle Toad thinks they're way out of line
蟾蜍大叔 觉得他们越了界
Maybe they think he is past his prime
或许嫌他老迈不中用
Uncle Toad said better straighten up right
蟾蜍大叔 厉声喝令快改过
When uncle Toad spoke it was not a pretty sight
他训话时的模样可不怎么好看
Uncle Toad lived in the wood out back
蟾蜍大叔 住在后山树林里
Lived in the shade of a utility shack
栖身于配电房的阴凉处
He looked in at the big brick house
他凝望着那座红砖大宅
At the girls as quiet as a mouse
少女们静默如鼠般存在
Uncle Toad said you had best get it right
蟾蜍叔叔说你们最好规矩点
When uncle Toad spoke it was not a pretty sight
他训话时的模样可不怎么好看
Uncle Toad tucked in the compost pile
蟾蜍叔叔在堆肥堆旁安顿
Out by the back door look at him smile
后门外的他露出神秘笑容
He said kid stop drinkin' that brew
他说小子快放下那杯酒
Plan while ya can or the joke's on you
趁早打算否则沦为笑柄
Uncle Toad said better straighten up right
蟾蜍大叔 厉声喝令快改过
When uncle Toad spoke it was not a pretty sight
他训话时的模样可不怎么好看
Uncle Toad sittin' by the swimmin' pool
蟾蜍大叔坐在泳池边上
Sits in the sun when the weather turns cool
天凉时就在阳光下取暖
Sits in the sun when the girls walk by
姑娘们经过时他晒着太阳
Maybe they think he's a little bit sly
或许她们觉得他有点狡猾
Uncle Toad said you had best get it right
蟾蜍叔叔说你们最好规矩点
When uncle Toad spoke it was not a pretty sight
他训话时的模样可不怎么好看
Uncle Toad sittin' by the cool mill race
蟾蜍大叔 坐在清凉的水车旁
All day long with a grin on his face
整日挂着笑容 悠然自得
He said boys you had better not try
他说小子们最好别尝试
Kissin' 'em girls cause I won't stand by
亲吻那些姑娘 我可不会袖手旁观
Uncle Toad sittin' by the wrought iron fence
蟾蜍大叔 坐在铸铁栅栏边
When uncle Toad spoke it was not a pretty sight
他训话时的模样可不怎么好看
Uncle Toad sittin' by the wrought iron fence
蟾蜍大叔 坐在铸铁栅栏边
Lookin' at the moon like it don't make sense
望着月亮 仿佛它毫无意义
We say Toad here's lookin' at you
蟾蜍大叔正注视着你
Hopin' you get your wish too
愿你也能得偿所愿
Sway to the left sway to the right
左摇右晃摇摆不定
When uncle Toad spoke it was not a pretty sight
他训话时的模样可不怎么好看
