Lyrics
Sadly his life took a tumble
Still we should now drink a toast
Toad, our incredibly humble
Convivial host!
Though he might think I'm a squatter
I'm master of all our space
So now let us feast on that otter
Then party the whole night away!
Some say stranger things have happened
Seems we've landed on a feat
Now we're living in a whole
And if that to top it all, we've fattened up am otter to eat
Not so fast!
Don't worry pet your safe now!
Or you soon will be
You have no escape, the place is surrounded
Surrounded by what?
Carol-singing field mice?
Rats
Hundreds of rats
Followed by death
For glory
Toads filling the roads
Leading towards Toad Hall
Moles armies of moles, and it's the same old story
Then dozens of badgers the stongest of them all
That washer woman toad it's true
Hundreds of rats!
Armies of moles!
There's only one thing we can do
Run to the hills!
Run to our holes!
We're under attack!
We're taking over the hall
Taking over the hall
The Wild Wooders are in retreat
They didn't scare us at all
Didn't scare us at all
They won't be having this poor to eat!
The tables turn And we're gonna have a ball
We're taking over the hall
Step away from that sir!
We're taking over the hall
Step away I say
Stay where you are you vile amphibian
Look at ya' I thought my skin was bad
Go on toad
Wallop and wack 'em
Thwat 'em and thwack 'em
Crunch 'em and crack 'em, and then
Club 'em and clout 'em until they give up
Then punch 'em and pound 'em again
Hush!
Hush!
I could not care less
The element of surprise will be the key to our success
The key!
The key!
The key!
The key!
The element of surprise will be the key to our success
(The key to our success)
(The key to our success)
The element of surprise will be the key to our success!
Mummy!
Hush!
My home
My home!
My mum!
A place to come back to
The calling is strong
My instinct assures me
It's where I belong
The trinkets and trappings
Mean nothing at all
There's one place I yearn for
A place called Toad Hall
