The cold weather isn’t for me

The melting ice caps isn’t for me

Living on a solid piece of ice isn’t for me

Waddle, waddle I go

The slipping and sliding on the ice isn’t for me

The splash of the Arctic cold water isn’t for me

My skin is rubbery 

My colony loves it here but I do not

If it weren’t for my eggs

I’d be on a warm beach somewhere
