Nits Bis - Pelican & Penguin Lyrics

(Hofstede/Kloet/Stips - Hofstede) My aunt is living in the country in a house by the water That's the place where I learned to swim When the uncle was still living he kept his prize winning chickens That looked like waiters in black & white I was sleeping in the attic between the preservation bottles And my cousin with peroxidized hair The boys next door were standing on a tyre of an aeroplane In the middle of the river in their Sunday suits Pelican & Penguin you are wakening me up My uncle he was reading lots of pocket books He had one shelf for Penguin and one shelf for Pelican When he was dead and buried my aunt gave me the books She didn't care too much for reading And nowadays when I travel I always take one of each I look at the back and make my choice Nits Bis Lyrics Pelican & Penguin Lyrics
