Penguin, James Penguin


Key:  C

                    C
Well the reindeer pull the sleigh

And the elves make the toys

Those are the stories that are well known to all

 G
Little girls and boys

          C
But I've got another story

Like a well dressed duck in a three piece tux

He's Santa's secret spy

Have you ever wondered

     D                   G
How Santa Claus keeps tabs

 D                 G
How he knows when you've been good

He's watching me and you

          D                   G
He's got satellite uplinks in his cufflinks

 C             Bm
Not so very long ago

       Am       D           G
Santa didn't need much help

          C                    Bm
But with more and more kids every year

    Am             D
He soon got overwhelmed

    C                    Bm
He told the elves one Christmas

          Am        D    G
We can't do this anymore

        Am
Then a knight in shining polyester

 D
Waddled through his door


            G                C
And it was Penguin, James Penguin

        D                   G
He was there to save the day

        C
He had wireless

     G       Em        Am              D
And G  P  S    outfitted on the sleigh


     G           C
And Santa said Penguin

           D                G
Won't you be my ears and eyes

 C                   G         Bm
How'd you like to help me run

    Am     D   G
My SC   FBI
