Mountain - The Animal Trainer and the Toad lyrics

many a year I was so confused and didnt know what to play But then I met a man who picked up his horn and showed me just what to say He was skinny and lean and he kept himself clean and he knew how to write them tunes Then came a day when we started to play And you know we conquered the moon Chorus I'm in a band A rock and roll band I'm in a band We called him Beethoven and then we showed them exactly where we wanted to go So we started a band and toured all the land A-rakin' in all of that dough We smoked a few cigs and we played a few gigs and never missed nearly a one We covered the States and we hit the Great Lakes And boy, did we have us some fun (Chorus) We had an idea so we put it in gear and soon we were out on the road We did it to play and they started to say The Animal Trainer and the Toad
