Chorus:
A5                     G5
King and Queens of the Pelicans we;
Gb5               F5
No other Birds so grand we see!
E5               Eb5
None but we have feet like fins!
     E5              Ab5
With lovely leathery throats and chins!


A5                   B5
Ploffskin, Puffskin, Pelican jee!
   C5                D5
We think no birds so happy as we!
A5                   E5
Plumpskin, Ploshkin, Pelican jill!
   A5
We think so then, and we thought so still!

Verse:
   Am                            E7
We live on the Nile. The Nile we love
   Am                           A
By night we sleep on the cliffs above;
   Dm
By day we fish, and at eve we stand
                               E
On long bare islands of yellow sand


    Am
And when the sun sinks slowly down
(nc)
And the great rock walls grow dark and brown
          Am
Where the purple river rolls fast and dim
                                 Am
And the Ivory Ibis starlike skim

Bridge:
Am              B
Wing to wing we dance around
E7                       Am
Stamping our feet with a flumpy sound
                      B
Opening our mouths as Pelicans ought
    E                        Am
And this is the song that we nightly snore:

Chorus:
A5                     G5
King and Queens of the Pelicans we;
Gb5               F5
No other Birds so grand we see!
E5               Eb5
None but we have feet like fins!
     E5              Ab5
With lovely leathery throats and chins!


A5                   B5
Ploffskin, Puffskin, Pelican jee!
   C5                D5
We think no birds so happy as we!
A5                   E5
Plumpskin, Ploshkin, Pelican jill!
   A5
We think so then, and we thought so still!
