There was a young penguin called Tux Who was feeling that 'Life really sucks' He was down in the mouth Coz he yearned to go south But he just didn't have the bucks! Now Tux the penguin was of sound mind But he found himself in a bit of a bind He lived in the city Which was a great pity Coz there weren't many of his own kind Meanwhile Geoff and Cath booked a trip On a Russian ice-strengthened ship Tux heard this with glee And begged 'Please take me!' So they stowed him away, just for kicks Once sailing far out at sea Tux was impatient to see His mates down South He would wail and pout "I really hope they like me!!" On Enderby Tux got to meet Some yellow-eyed penguins he'd greet They were very shy But Tux gave it a try "No yellow eyes but I have yellow feet?" On MacQuarie Tux got quite furious Those King Penguins were most curious One pecked him a lot In a rather rude spot Which Tux didn't find very luxurious A Royal was most interested To see if Tux would have nested With her on the shore Tux said "Ask no more! My manhood is yet to be tested!" At Buckles Bay near the Aussie base The Gentoo penguins made their case "Our cousin Tux! You look just like us!" Tux had finally found his own race At Cape Adare Tux did decree The penguins here seem very happy They would flap about And squawk and shout He loved the cute Adelie At our furthest point south in Antarctica Tux met the grand penguin Emperor To them he'd retort "I'm not THAT short!" They'd laugh and say "Get away with ya" Heading home we all grumbled and moaned Tux had sated his desire to roam He'd made many friends With his fellow penguins But Melbourne was where he called home
