Pelican And Penguin (Album Version) - Nits

作词：Henk Hofstede/Robert Jan Stips/Rob Kloet

作曲：Henk Hofstede/Robert Jan Stips/Rob Kloet

My aunt is living in the country

In a house by the water

That's the place where I have learned to swim

When the uncle was still living

He kept his prize winning chickens

That looked like waiters in black and white

I was sleeping in the attic

Between the preservation bottles

And my cousin with peroxidized hair

The boys next door were standing on a tyre

Of an aeroplane

In the middle of the river in their Sunday suits

Pelican and Penguin

You are wakening me up

I'm in the middle of dreaming

And you are tearing apart

My uncle he was reading

Lots of pocket books

He had one shelf for Penguin and one shelf for Pelican

When he was dead and buried

My aunt gave me the books

She didn't care too much for reading

And nowadays when I travel

I always take one of each

I look at the back and make my choice

Pelican and Penguin

You are wakening me up

I'm in the middle of dreaming

And you are tearing apart
