She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh…
Rennenhenninnahenninnenninahennn
Way over on the wet side
Of the bed
Just like the mighty Penguin
Flappin' her eight ounce wings
(The Swaggart Flap)
Don't you know it's all over
If she come atcha on the strut & wrap 'em all around yer head
Flappin' her eight ounce wings, flappinumm
(Jim!)
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
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh…
