[Verse] Old Mr Barnslow with his tadpole game Spinning that wheel no two days the same Round and round in the morning sun glow Tadpoles tadpoles how the chants would go [Verse 2] Neighbors whisper he's out of his mind But magic needs madness it’s one of a kind Little kids laugh as they dance all around In Barnslow’s world we were spellbound [Chorus] Tadpoles tadpoles swim in dreams so deep Frogs of the future promises we keep Memories of a man and his tadpole art In our grown-up minds he still plays a part [Verse 3] Years have come and gone since those summer days Barnslow’s wheel long wooden decays Yet echoes of his voice still clear as a bell Tadpoles tadpoles like a timeless spell [Bridge] He taught us whimsy and a bit of lore Life’s simple pleasures you can't ignore Seeing magic in the smallest things Barnslow’s song forever sings [Chorus] Tadpoles tadpoles swim in dreams so deep Frogs of the future promises we keep Memories of a man and his tadpole art In our grown-up minds he still plays a part
