Have you heard the news
That is going round
He should know better
Have you heard the news
That boy's got dust for brains
After all this time
After all this time
Now things, oh, can never be the same
He should know better
Always straight, always cool
Endless style, nobody's fool
And always with the grace and superb manner
How he danced around the snakes
Left them spinning in his way
And stepped straight on the yellow skin banana
He should know better
In the early hours of day
The black night
He makes his way
Regretfully into the morning fog
Just one silly small mistake
Now all his bones their gonna break
To the curse and laughing smile
Of the little green frog
He should know better
