Lyrics:

[Chris Packham: "Look at that - it's a little bit sandy and muddy - but the first thing you'll notice, which is extremely diagnostic, is that bright, yellow stripe, which runs down from the nose to the very back end of the animal. Great paint work - Lamborghini of the toad world - particularly when they're after a nice, juicy slug."]

Down where the water is warm and shallow
Stagnate
Thoughts of sandy safety tucked in my burrow
Migrate

Chorus together my lovelorn brothers
We sing
Rasping out our throat-sack amplified ballad
Pining

Tigers, dragons, salamanders prowl the pond
Doesn't get much better in the world beyond

Birds will peck and peel you
Skin and eat you raw
Bufagin couldn't save my skin
So now I'm in the serpent's maw

Did you just think it was chance that they called me
The 'Running Toad'
Now you've seen just who would happily eat me
If I slowed

I used to be widespread
But now I'm pretty localised
This is my home, yeah it's getting overgrown
But it's the only one you haven't vandalised

Toad in the whole is a dunescape delicacy
Most the time we serve it up quite literally!

Here be damsels
(Not the type who'd turn you to a prince)
Whose warm embrace
(And extendable face)
Turn my tadpole heart to mince

Dune slack
Throat-sack
Yellow stripe running all the way down my back
I've got the dune slack
Throat-sack
You know I've got to be a natterjack
