Lyrics
TOLL FOR THE TROLL (A. Nermo)
Way up in the B.C. Backwoods
There's a little bridge over the top.
And if you go there by yourself,
There's a good chance you'll be stopped.
Don't be surprised if a little man
Jumps up all strange and rude.
He'll be all covered in grass and leaves,
And this is what he'll say to you,
"Toll for the troll.
Pay up your toll for the troll.
Get out your toll for the troll.
Cause I'm not a frog and and I'm not a goat.
I'm a troll and this is my road."
You may be a little surprised at first,
And try and just walk on by.
But you know you'll never make it to the other side
Unless you stop to pay his price.
"Toll for the troll.
Pay up your toll for the troll.
Get out your toll for the troll.
Cause I'm not a frog and and I'm not a goat.
I'm a troll and this is my road."
What's the toll, troll?...
"Pay up, pay up, whatever you got.
A pint of Scotch wisky, a grain of buckshot,
A half-dollar, gold collar, or even a pot.
Pay up my toll, whatever you got.
And if you got nothing, just give me a smile.
That's all the toll that I require."
Way up in the B.C. Backwoods
There's a little bridge over the top.
And if you go there by yourself,
There's a good chance you'll be stopped.
"Toll for the troll.
Pay up your toll for the troll.
Get out your toll for the troll.
Cause I'm not a frog and and I'm not a goat.
I'M A TROLL!
Toll for the troll.
Pay up your toll for the troll.
Get out your toll for the troll.
Cause I'm not a frog and and I'm not a goat.
I'm a troll and this is my road."
