Tadpole Blues

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