Songtext von Platypus

Sleeping geology On the isolated shore For millions of years Experimental continent On purpose or accident? Mysterious evolving Problem solving A vaudeville? A nation including one superior creation A vertebra? Inverted quite unheard of Orphan in a family And a sole survivor He's a living fossil Reptillian? Mammalian He's a bird-beaked, beaver-butt Australian Amphibious? Paradox wearing plaid socks Furry beetle? A bugbear, and a palezoologist's nightmare Symmetrical physique of disbelief The platypus has the brain of a dolphin And can be seen driving a forklift in his habitat of kelp He is the larva of the flatworm And has the ability to regenerate after injury No relation to the flounder Someone shipped him to the blokes Who said he was a hoax So they cut him to pieces, wrote a thesis A cranium of deceit, he's prone to lie and cheat It's no wonder -- a blunder from down under Duckbill, watermole, duckmole! Barnacle
