Penguin In Bondage [Halloween 73- October 20th]
She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
Way over on the wet side
Of the bed
Just like the mighty Penguin
Flappin' her eight ounce wings
Lord, you know it's all over
If she come atcha on the strut & wrap 'em all around yer head
Flappin' her eight ounce wings, flappinumm
She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
Shake up the pale-dry
Ginger ale
Tremblin' like a Penguin
When the battery fail
Lord, you must be havin' her jumpin' through a hoopa real fire
With some Kleenex wrapped around a coat-hang wire
She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
Howlin' over to some
Antarcticulated moon
In the frostbite nite
With her flaps gone white
Shriekin' as she spot the hoop across the room
Lord, you know it must be a Penguin bound down
When you hear that terrible screamin' and there ain't no other
Birds around
She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
She's just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
Aw, you must be careful
Not to leave her straps
TOO LOOSE
'Cause she just might box yer dog
'Cause she just might box yer dog
An' leave you a dried-up dog biscuit . .

Ruth: I will do it
FZ: I know you will. Okay, beginning of "T'Mershi Duween."
Ruth: Wait a minute. I hate— You counted last time

Ruth: But you still be [...]. Ha ha ha!
FZ: Okay. Who's counting this time?
