lyrics

Dressed up to the nines
Hangin by the pool
Got my polar face on
And i’m keepin' it cool

At the south pole where ice floes
Collide like bumper cars
On the midway in the Artic
On a Sunday afternoon

I’m a glacial kind of guy
A fully aquatic bird
Flippin' ice chips on the downbeat
Makin’ love in the wintry cold

A penguin’s gotta do
What a penguin’s gotta do
It’s exceptionally cool
To be a penguin
Put your flippers in the air
Put your flippers in the air
Put your flippers in the air
If you’re a penguin…..too

Ice cream sandwich
Everybody gather round and snuggle in
Let’s make a big pack like we always do
Then i’ll try my best to get to the middle
Try my best to get to the middle
Try my best to get to you

Dressed up for the big show
In my two-toned jersey suit
Sliding into home-base
Im’a penguin Babe Ruth
On this island made of snowballs
I hit home-runs every day
By night i rock the casbah
In my penguimatic way

I’m an enigmatic bird
Half fish, half fowl, half lion
King of the frozen playa
At the bottom of the earth

A penguin’s gotta do
What a penguin’s gotta do
It’s exceptionally cool
To be a penguin
Put your flippers in the air
Put your flippers in the air
Put your flippers in the air
If you’re a penguin…..too

Dressed up to the nines
Hangin by the pool
Got my polar face on
And i’m keepin' it cool

KATHERYN PETERSEN Vancouver, British Columbia

Katheryn and her accordion have been inseparable for years. If you see her on the street she will no doubt be hefting a distinctive piece of luggage that is regularly mistaken as an electronic typewriter case. Indeed, the tapping of her keys makes a joyful sound but hers are attached to bellows and not ink ribbons. katherynpetersen.com ... more
