A secret revealed by a cigarette kid in the back alleys of Juarez, searching for the missing Carlotta Gomez.

A long time ago when the world was all gooshy
There lived a toad queen named the evil Queen Lucy
She lived in a castle of silver and gold
She ruled with an iron fist in the Republic of Toads

Refrain: Singing toads, toads toads toads ...

There were toads waving flags there were toads upon wheels
There were toads in big business making bug business deals
Queen Lucy collected a heavy toad tax
And those who refused they were given the ax
(Refrain)

A little toad scout had some bad news to bear
He discovered strange armies along toad frontiers
Queen Lucy consulted the wisest toad wizards
But all they would say was "Beware of the Lizards"
(refrain)

So the Hundred Year War with the Lizards begun
And soon every young toad was toting a gun
They fought on so bravely for Lucy their lord
But the tide it had turned against the Republic of Toads
(refrain)

Hoardes of lizards they ransacked the Toad Castle, dear
They discovered Queen Lucy, been dead 50 years
The toads they all scattered, but they're with us still
And their mighty republic they hope to rebuild, someday ...
(refrain)
