lyrics

Paul the penguin was very mild mannered. Or at least that’s what everyone thought. Whenever they passed him on the ice he would nod his head, give a sincere smile and say “how do?”. They would smile back and think what a thoroughly nice penguin he was.
When Paul would return home (although penguins don’t really have homes) he would sit down and make a mental note of everyone who had been nice to him that day. He would also make a note of everyone who hadn’t been nice to him that day.
Fortunately for Paul and everyone he’d seen, he had never had to make a mental note of someone not being nice to him. This would have been very bad for everyone involved as Paul really disliked it when someone wasn’t nice to him. Even thinking about the possibility of that happening made his flippers curl up in anger, his blood start to boil (no mean feat in the sub zero Antarctic temperatures) , his brow furrow aggressively and a low growl start to emanate from his beak. When he realised he was angry for no reason he took a long deep breath and everything was fine again.
