Frank Zappa - Penguin In Bondage lyrics

[Frank Zappa - Penguin In Bondage lyrics]

Thank you
Brian, I could use a little bit more monitor
Hello hello
Can't you turn up any more than that?
Hello hello, hey! Alright!
Pardon me folks

The name of this song is Penguin in Bondage
An' it's a song that ah
Deals with the possible variations on
A basic theme which iswell
You understand what a basic theme is
And then the variations include ah
Manoeuvres that might be
Executed with the aid of ah
Extra-terrestrial gratification
And devices which might or might not
Be supplied in a local
Department store or perhaps a drugstore
But at very least in
One of those fancy new shops
That they advertise in the
Back pages of the free press
This song suggests to the
Suggestible listener that the
Ordinary procedure ah
That I am circumlocuting at this present
Time in order to get this text on television
Is that ah
If you wanna do something other than what you
Thought you were gonna do when you
First took your clothes off
And you just happened to
Have some DEVICES around
Then it's, it's not only okay to get into the
PARAPHERNALIA of it all buthey!
What did he say? Ready?
She's just like a penguin in Bondage, boy
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh
Rennenhenninnahenninnenninahennn
Way over on the wet side
Of the bed (Knirps for moisture)

Just like the mighty Penguin
Flappin' her eight ounce wings

Lord, you know it's all over
If she comes atcha on the strut & wrap 'em
All around yer head

Flappin her eight ounce wings, flappinumm

She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy

Shake up the pale-dry ginger ale
Tremblin' like a Penguin
When the battery fail

Lord, you must be havin' her jumpin' through
A hoopa real fire
With some Kleenex wrapped around a
Coat hang wire
She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh
Rennenhenninnahenninneninahenn
Howlin' over to some antarcticulated moon

In the frostbite nite
With her flaps gone white
Shriekin' as she spot the
Hoop across the room

Lord, you know it must be
A Penguin bound down
When you hear that terrible screamin' and
There ain't no other birds around

She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh
She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh
Rennenhenninnahenninneninahennn
Aw, you must be careful
Not to leave her straps tOO LOOSE

'Cause she just might box yer dog
She just might box yer doggie
An' leave you a dried-up dog biscuit
