From the recording Lord of the Frozen Stage
Lyrics
In the land of the frost where the ice winds sing,
There’s a bird in a tux with a quiet kind of swing.
With a torpedo-form body and an antifreeze core,
He dives into the deep like a legend from lore.
Oh, the penguin, the penguin, a marvel within,
A master of the cold with a fearless spin.
From counter-current magic to ultraviolet sight,
He’s the coolest little hero in the endless white.
From pebble-gifted love to the yearly feather change,
His catastrophic molt is a warrior’s exchange.
Preening armor-bright with a plumage so dense,
He glides through the snow with a tobogganer’s sense.
Oh, the penguin, the penguin, the Arctic’s own kin,
With monogamous devotion and a tux built in.
With thermal tricks hidden in every thin line,
He’s a walking little poem in a frozen design.
On the ice he waddles like Chaplin in the snow,
A Bambi-on-ice figure in a silent show.
But sliding on his belly with a superhero’s grace,
He leaps like a rocket into an oceanic chase.
Oh, the penguin, the penguin, a marvel who grins,
He flips from clumsy dancer to a knight with fins.
He rockets through the water where the deep blue spins,
Turning krill into triumph with underwater wins.
When he sheds old feathers
He steps from cold armor into a new frontier.
And when rivals appear, he stands firm like a shield,
A small Wolverine spirit who refuses to yield.
And when it comes to love, on the ice they stand true,
A pebble for a promise, from one heart to two.
One egg held tight on his feet in the storm,
A devotion that keeps the whole colony warm.
Oh, the penguin, the penguin, born to begin,
A superhero of the frost in a world so thin.
No glamour, no glitter — just survival and skin,
He’s a tuxedo-clad legend in a universe of spin.
