Duckbilled Platypus

lyrics

When I say “Duckbilled”, you say “Platypus”!
Duckbilled! (Platypus) Duckbilled! (Platypus)
When I say “Ornithorhynchus”, you say “Anatinus”!
Ornithorhynchus! (Anatinus) Ornithorhynchus! (Anatinus)
Duckbilled! (Platypus) Duckbilled! (Platypus)
Ornithorhynchus! (Anatinus) Ornithorhynchus! (Anatinus)
Duckbilled! (Platypus) Duckbilled! (Platypus)
Ornithorhynchus! (Anatinus) Ornithorhynchus! (Anatinus)

Whoever would believe a
Tail from a beaver
And the beak of a duck
Would be discovered stuck
To an animal who’s got a
Foot like an otter
With quite a snake-like
Venomous spike?
With which to poison its foes?
And if you then heard
It laid eggs like a bird
You’d think that I was being absurd.

CHORUS: Duckbilled! (Platypus) etc.

Ducky-ducky-duckbilled platypus!
You’re the very definition of randomness!
You’re a monotreme
From a madman’s dream,
Something I’d hallucinate
In a stupefied state.
You’re somewhere in the range
Between crazy and strange,
And that’s why I think you’re fabulous.

CHORUS: Duckbilled! (Platypus) etc.

Duckbilled Platypus, you’re really wild!
You’ve been my favourite animal since I was a child!
You’ve got lots of bits that just don’t belong,
As though you’ve been put together wrong.

Duckbilled! (Platypus) Duckbilled! (Platypus)
Ornithorhynchus! (Anatinus)
You bring me happiness.
