Devon By The Sea
There was a penguin in my room last night
Nipping at my feet
He was begging, "Please,
Please, please,
Please turn down the heat."
Penguie has a striking name
He's Devon-by-the-Sea
I brought him from
Seattle in 1983
At night he sings me love songs
I count them one-by-one
He softly calls me, "Sweetie,"
I call him my Sweet Sun.
I'm glad he lives here with me
'Cause he talks to me each day
And as he waddles closer
I hear him softly say
"Sweetie, Sweetie, Sweetie,
You treat me oh-so-fine
I'll stay right here beside you
Until the end of time."
