Lyrics
Come hither, come hitherWhy the haste little one?She ogled the young manSoon to be gone
With amphibian eyesAnd batrachian throatSlimy and flabbyThe Mother of Toads
A witch of old timesEnormous her sizeHideous her aspectsMalicious her mind
She handed a drinkThe poisonous brew
This philtre of evilHe drank from and lo!His senses were alteredAnd drawn he was soon
To her abominationAnd in the light of the moonThey mingled and wallowedLike lovers till dawnThen he was swallowedBy the amphibian spawn
Where he was goneIn Averoigne none could tell
Only the toadsCroaked him a farewell
With amphibian eyesAnd batrachian throatSlimy and flabbyThe Mother of Toads
A witch of old timesEnormous her sizeHideous her aspectsMalicious her mind
She handed a drinkThe poisonous brew
This philtre of evilHe drank from and lo!His senses were alteredAnd drawn he was soon
To her abominationAnd in the light of the moonThey mingled and wallowedLike lovers till dawnThen he was swallowedBy the amphibian spawn
Where he was goneIn Averoigne none could tell
Only the toadsCroaked him a farewell
