Testo pelican & penguin

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
