Sung to: “On Top of Old Smoky”
On top of an iceberg, All covered with snow,
I saw my first, penguin And I wanted to know.
Oh is it a bird,
Or is it a fish?
I looked at his feathers,
And knew which was which.
I said, “Mr. Penguin,
Which species are you?”
He said, “I’m an emperor,
And not a gentoo.”
I said, “Mr. Penguin,
What’s under you patch?”
He said, “It’s an egg,
It’s ready to hatch!”
I said, “Mr. Penguin,
Oh, where is your wife?”
“She’s out in the ocean,
She’ll be back tonight.”
Said Mr. Penguin,
“Her name is Jill.
She’s out in the ocean,
Feeding on krill.”
The next thing I knew,
I heard a small peep.
And I saw a chick,
At the emperor’s feet!

Three little penguins dressed in white and black.
Waddle, waddle forward and waddle right back!
Three little penguins, in a funny pose,
They are wearing their evening clothes.
Their suits are black and their vests are white,
They waddle to the left and they waddle to the right.
They stand on the ice and they look very neat,
As they waddle along on their little flat feet.

Waddle, waddle, waddle, waddle
Flap, flap, flap
Once I lived inside an egg
That sat upon my daddy’s feet
Then I hatched into a bird
And lived inside a rookery
Chorus: waddle, waddle, etc
I have wings but cannot fly
My feathers shine with black and white
I can swim the very best
In water that is cold all day and night
Chorus
Do you know my special name
Think hard and even make a wish
If you know, then shout it out
I’m a penguin and I think I’ll catch a fish
Chorus…waddle, waddle, etc
Five Little Penguins

Five little penguins, I once knew,
Short ones, fat ones, skinny ones, too.
But, the one little penguin with the RED bow tie,
He led the others because he like to slide,
He led the others because he like to slide.
Over the ice he would go,
Wibble wobble,
Wibble wobble, to and fro,
But, the one little penguin with the RED bow tie,
He led the others because he like to slide,
He led the others because he like to slide.

I’m a chubby penguin; aren’t I cute?
I’m a bird in a penguin suit.
My suit has thick feathers, black and white.
I can’t fly, but I swim all right!
I can waddle round on my webbed feet.
Fresh fish are what I like to eat.
I have lots of fat to keep me warm.
My flippers help me swim along.
