Kid; down by the creek, playing in the water,
along comes a Toad, humming Muddy Waters,
Toad says to the Kid, "Kid, have you got a quarter?",
Kid smiles at the Toad, says "Toad, you're out of order."
Pulls out a billy club, and holds it like a sword or
knife, says, "You got until the count of four or
five. Then if you're still here, you're slaughter.
I'll feed you to a cook, who's short order."
Toad looks at the Kid with a look that borders
on disbelief, then he follows the Kid's orders,
The Kid cries out "Stop!", and steps on Toad's hindquarters,
says, "I changed my mind, I'll become an extorter.
Go down to the bank, and get a money order.
I'm the sheriff 'round here, I'm the law and order.
If you're not back by five, I'll be sure'n make you holler."
Toad thought and thought, and wished he had a fly swatter,
but he didn't, and he knew bad luck was in his corner,
he was damned if he did, and damned if he sorta,
so he grabbed his sombrero and took off for the border.
