Big Frogs in Little Puddles
Big frogs in little puddles laying down the law Tying bows in red tape and dont know what theyre for I thought our soldiers went to war to keep Australia free But big frogs in little puddles are choking you and me Choking you and me
Old Tom staggered to the office door of a North West frontier town And he cried give me food and water, and Ill tell you all what Ive found Yes Ive found a mountain made of iron ore and thisll make the money flow But the office Johnny said now steady on, we must do things correct you know
I just cant hand out town supplies to everyone who asks And youre not a resident of this here town, so, youre not my business task Oh but heres a requisition form, and its in triplicate if you please Now steady old man, why I believe hes passed out, oh I wonder where that mountain could be

Shell have to it in good part Oh I guess he was just too busy to be bothered with a mothers heart
Oh big frogs in little puddles laying down the law Too busy in their little worlds to know what hearts are for Success and money they might have but they better not forget Their puddles may dry up someday and theyll deserve the scorn they get
