Percival Penguin didn't know how to swim
It was scary for him to slip into water
Percival Penguin spent his days on the ice
He thought it was nice 'til his Dad said he ought 'ta swim
But swimming wasn't for him!
'Cause Percival loved to tap dance and to rhumba
He could cha-cha-cha - He could samba
He knew ballet - He could do the jive
And every night he would dance 'til five
1, 2, 3-4-5!
Percival Penguin hid away from the crowd
They were all very loud and he wanted to practise
Tomorrow's audition was a kind of a test
And he needed to rest or else he'd be cactus and fail
But not in this fairy-tale
'Cause Percival loved to tap dance and to rhumba
He could cha-cha-cha - He could samba
He knew ballet - He could do the jive
And every night he would dance 'til five
1, 2, 3-4-5!
Percival Penguin soon became a big star
Penguins came from afar, to see Percy dancing
One special penguin was his leading girl
They'd tap and they'd twirl
It led to romancing and now
They're taking their wedding vow
'Cause Percival loved to tap dance and to rhumba
They could cha-cha-cha - They could samba
They knew ballet - They could do the jive
And every night he would dance 'til five
1, 2, 3-4-5!
Percival Penguin now is famous you see
And with such artistry, the crowds are applauding
Percival Penguin and his family of four
Star on every dance floor
And the world shouts out for more!
