The name of this song is in Bondage, An' a song that ah, deals with the possible variations on a basic theme is... well, You understand what a theme is. And then the variations include ah, manoeuvres might be with the aid of ah, extra-terrestrial gratification and devices which might or not be supplied in a local department or perhaps a drugstore but at very least in one of those fancy new shops that advertise in the back-pages of the press. This song suggests to the suggestible listener the procedure ah, That I am circumlocuting at this present time in to get text on television, Is that ah, if you wanna do something than what you thought you were gonna do when you first your clothes off and you happened to have some DEVICES around... Then it's, it's not only okay to get the of it all but... Hey! What did he Ready?
just like a penguin in Bondage, boy Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh... Way over on the wet Of the bed (Knirps for moisture)
Just like the mighty Flappin' her ounce wings
Lord, you it's all over If she atcha on the strut & wrap 'em all yer head
Flappin her ounce wings, flappinumm
She's like a Penguin in Bondage, boy
up the pale-dry ale Tremblin' a Penguin the battery fail
Lord, you must be havin' her through a real fire With Kleenex wrapped around a coat-hang
She's just like a in Bondage, boy Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh... Howlin' to some Antarcticulated
In the nite With her gone white Shriekin' as she spot the hoop across the
Lord, you know it be a Penguin bound down When you that terrible screamin' and there no other Birds
She's just a Penguin in Bondage, boy Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh... She's just a Penguin in Bondage, boy Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh... Aw, you be careful Not to her straps TOO
'Cause she might box yer dog She just might box yer An' leave you a dog biscuit...
