Chorus:
|
It's easy to see that we've just a very short time
|
So why don't we just go to the hill and climb
|
We'll go up just as high as John T. Booker got low
|
Yeah, singin' the songs that don't rhyme
|
Carryin' those pennies that do shine
|
Laughin' at the minutes that fall behind, in a very short time
|
|
Yeah, a tadpole's cuter than a topwater ever could be
|
And I betcha neither one ever had a lifeguard like me
|
Ain't nobody drowned since I got here, I been lookin' after tadpoles
|
Watchin' their legs that will grow, wonderin' where they're gonna go
|
In a very short time
|
|
Well, it's easy to see that, we've just a very short time
|
Yeah, nobody thinks about it until it's very far behind
|
|
Then they got to know where every second has gone
|
They keep singin' them songs that do rhyme
|
Carryin' those pennies that refuse to shine
|
Cryin' for the minutes that fell behind in a very short time
|
|
