Peter: You'll get chills all through your body
And you'll lose all control
Of your bladder and your sphincter
That's your butt hole
Cause if you use toad
Then I'm telling you
You can kiss your life goodbye
Yeah, when you use toad
It'll mess you up
It'll make your mama cry, that's no lie
You'll choke on your tongue and die
Gotta give it up
Students: Give up the toad now

Gotta give it up
Students: Gotta give up the toad now
Peter: Or you'll croak, buddy
Gotta give it up
Students: Gotta give up the toad now
Peter: And don't smoke or you'll see
It hurts to pee
There'll be blood gushing from you
Every time that you cough
And forget getting lucky
It falls off
You better wise up
Cause I'm telling you
Toad is what Lando forbids
Gotta give it all up
Or you're gonna see
Your whole life will hit the skids
And your kids will be born without eyelids
Gotta give it up
Students: Give up the toad now
Thanks to you, Lando
Give it up
