Tadpole Blues Lyrics by Peter Combe

Toffee Apple

0

[Verse 1]
Yesterday I had a body and a tail
A body and a tail, body and a tail
Yesterday I had a body and a tail
Today, I've got two legs as well

[Chorus]
What is happening to me
Whatever can it be
I'm not very happy and that's because
I liked the way I was

[Verse 2]
Well blow me down, it's happenin' again
Happenin' again, happenin' again
Blow me down, it's happenin' again
There's two legs growing at the front as well

[Chorus]
What is happening to me
Whatever can it be
I'm not very happy and that's because
I liked the way I was

[Verse 3]
Uh oh, what's going on, my tail is getting shor-orter
Tail is getting shor-orter, tail is getting shor-orter
What's going on, my tail is getting shor-orter
It's going, going, gone - oh no

[Chorus]
What is happening to me
Whatever can it be
I'm not very happy and that's because
I liked the way I was

[Verse 4]
Well now I'm a frog and I've more or less got used to it
More or less got used to it, more or less got used to it
But sometimes a tadpole swims up to have a quiet chat
And I know what he's going to say

[Chorus]
What is happening to me
Whatever can it be
I'm not very happy and that's because
I liked the way I was

[Post-Chorus]
Now listen - it's really rather nice to be a frog
And live at the bottom of a bog
So don't be concerned or worry about a thing
Come on and sing-sing-sing

[Outro]
Lah-lah-la-la-la-la-la, Lah-lah-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-lah, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-lah-lah-lah
Lah-lah-la-la-la-la-la, Lah-lah-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-lah, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-lah-lah-lah
Lah-lah-la-la-la-la-la, Lah-lah-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-lah, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-lah-lah-lah [fade]
