Papa Penguin, Papa Penguin
Papa Pengu Pengu Penguin
Papa Penguin longs for distant places
Papa Penguin, Papa Penguin
Papa Pengu Pengu Penguin
Papa Penguin always reaches for the stars

Because the ice is slippery
And he's tired of it
Always standing around freezing
Papa Penguin would like to see something new
Because the seagull there
Just flies away
Papa watches with envy
He would so love to be a real bird

Papa Penguin, Papa Penguin
Papa Pengu Pengu Penguin
Papa Penguin would love to travel

And he hops around
But then he falls over
His wings are too small
Then he sits there in the snow all alone and cries
Mama Penguin
She comforts him
And then he quickly goes home
His own children laugh at him too
And then he falls asleep and dreams
He soon flies to the south
From Paris to Rome over the Mediterranean
From Madrid to Athens
Over Hagenbeck he flies away quickly
Because there he sees his brothers
And they call out: Fly home quickly
Papapapapapapapapapapa

Papa Penguin, Papa Penguin
Papa Pengu Pengu Penguin
Papa Penguin always reaches for the stars

But he is simply
Not made for flying
His wings are too small
He would so love to be a real bird
And he gets very hot
On the cold ice
He tries once more
Papa Penguin, give up, you have no choice
And he stands in the snow
And his heart hurts
He feels like many others
He no longer recognizes
Where he belongs
How beautiful home is
But there is Mama and the children
To cool him down quickly
Papa, don't go
Because we need you
Papapapapapapapapapapa

Papa Penguin, Papa Penguin
Papa Pengu Pengu Penguin
Papa Penguin longs for distant places
Papa Penguin, Papa Penguin
Papa Pengu Pengu Penguin
Papa Penguin always reaches for the stars
Papa Penguin, Papa Penguin
Papa Pengu Pengu Penguin
Papa Penguin lets go of his dreams
Papa Penguin, Papa Penguin
Papa Pengu Pengu Penguin
Papa Penguin, a man belongs at home
