Who would not like a penguin, I would for sure
A black and white friend whom I could adore
If I fed him fresh fish I would sing a happy song
And he would keep me happy all the day long

But mine is made of paper bent this way and that
An origami penguin who is almost quite flat
He hangs from my lamp and swirls around
A happier little penguin could hardly be found

Now I have one, I can make many more
Hundreds of penguins for me to adore
Come and see my Christmas tree full from top to toe
Penguins dressed for Christmas in a bright red dicky bow

But mine is made of paper bent this way and that
An origami penguin who is almost quite flat
He hangs from my lamp and swirls around
A happier little penguin could hardly be found


Origami Penguins don’t need to fed
Fresh fish or wear diapers when going of to bed
But they all look so pretty and work so well for me
And there are some in every room all flying free

But mine is made of paper bent this way and that
An origami penguin who is almost quite flat
He hangs from my lamp and swirls around
A happier little penguin could hardly be found
