Penguin Lament Songtext
von John Ondrasik

If you were a penguin
You′d understand
How it is to be a penguin
It's not always grand

If you were a penguin
Then you could tell
What it′s like to be a penguin
You'd know a too well

And I'm a little too cute
Oh, yes, I know
I′m all dressed up, but I′ve got no place to go

When you are a penguin
You look around
And see nothing but penguins
And frozen ground

When you are a penguin
And I am one
You have nowhere to hide
You have no way to run


Little leg cannot stride
So we rock side to side, side to side, side to side to move
We can't even fly!

And I′m a little too cute
Oh, yes, I know
I'm all dressed up, but I′ve got no place to go

I want to be cool
Like the polar bear guys
I want to be tall
And somewhat mysterious

But nothing profound
Comes in penguin size
Can anyone small
Be anyone serious?
I'm serious!

A little too cute
A little too cute
A little too cute

And I′m a little too cute
Oh, yes, I know
I'm all dressed up but I've got no place to go


Now I am a penguin
No one else like me
Except every other penguin
That you will ever see
Miles of peguins
As cute as can be

We′re all a little too cute
Oh, yes, we know
A little too cute
Oh, yes, we know
A little too cute
Oh, yes, we know
A little too cute
Oh, yes, we know
A little too cute
Oh, yes, that′s right
We're all dressed up and we′re gonna have a party tonight!

Penguin! (Ah)
Penguin party, now!
(¡Vamonos penguinos!) Ah! ah-ah!
Penguin! Penguin!
(I love my life!) Peguin party, now!
You gotta rock-and-roll it at a penguin (Ah)
(Go Johnny go) Peguin party, now!
Ah! ah-ah!
Penguin! Penguin!
Penguin party, now!
You gotta rock-and-roll it at a
(Where's you get that tux?)
