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 is...well,
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 but...Hey!
What did he say? Ready?


She's just like a penguin in Bondage, boy
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh...
Rennen, henninnahe, nninneni, nahennn
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...
Rennen, henninnahe, nninneni, nahennn
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...
Rennen, henninnahe, nninneni, nahennn
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...
