the annual penguin show - peter straker lyrics
friday night, everybody dresses up in black and white
look at the crowd, no jeans allowed
a glass of wine, and everybody’s having such a good time
or so they say, so give it away tonight, all right
the orchestra play, the penguins sway
the movement they make meant nothing at all
once in a while, they let out a smile
in single file, they were having a ball
forty seven penguins, all in a row
at the annual penguin show
a waiter stands, a creature of devotion to his fellow man
shiny black hair, it’s so rude to stare
all the bands will play, they won’t reform their uniforms of yesterday
all black and white, it’s gotta be right tonight, all right
the orchestra play, the penguins sway
the movement they make meant nothing at all
once in a while, they let out a smile
in single file, they were having a ball
forty seven penguins, all in a row
at the annual penguin show
it wouldn’t be right tonight to meet the people from the streets and let them in
you never know just where they’ve been
you’ve really got to chose, you mustn’t lose, so don’t refuse
your mbe and send it back and call it cr*p
you’ve got to be as straight as elastic, oh, oh, oh, oh
you’ve got to be as natural as plastic, hey, hey
the orchestra play, the penguins sway
the movement they make meant nothing at all
once in a while, they let out a smile
in single file, they were having a ball
forty seven penguins, all in a row
at the annual penguin show
a penguin going, penguins are such lovely creatures
with shiny hair, and silky features
a wobble here, minding there
they take their time, but they don’t care
but it’s so sad to fence them in
to face the public, smile and win
once a year, please, please, let them come
to the annual penguin show
with lots of fishy things to eat
to tempt the palette
then the feet and after lunch
a chocolate biscuit made specially for ’em, innit?
forty seven penguins, all in a row
at the annual penguin show, no no
at the annual penguin show, one more time
at the annual penguin show
yeah, yeah, yeah, want to bribe me with a story then…
