Oh! Great defenders from our far north,
I’ve heard the toads are through,
I’m sorry, sad and disheartened,
They’ve made it to Kakadu.

Queensland couldn’t contain them,
New South Wales didn’t care,
But I really thought the Territory,
Was more environmentally aware.

Please bang your drum ever so loud,
And let the politicians know,
The rest of the world is watching,
Wondering, why they act so slow.
