verse 1 My aunt is living in the country in a house by the water That's the place where I learned to swim Instrumental verse 2 When the uncle was still living he kept his prize winning chickens That looked like waiters in black & white Instrumental verse 3 I was sleeping in the attic between the preservation bottles And my cousin with peroxidized hair Instrumental verse 4 The boys next door were standing on a tyre of an aeroplane In the middle of the river in their Sunday suits Chorus Pelican & Penguin you are wakening me up I'm in the middle of dreaming and you are tearing it apart? Instrumental Verse 5 My uncle he was reading lots of pocket books He had one shelf for Penguin and one shelf for Pelican Instrumental Verse 6 When he was dead and buried my aunt gave me the books She didn't care too much for reading Instrumental Verse 7 And nowadays when I travel I always take one of each I look at the back and make my choice Chorus Pelican & Penguin you are wakening me up I'm in the middle of dreaming and you are tearing it apart?
