The Lyrics
I can't forsake the Penguin
Nuts to you, won't poo-poo Him
Think me deranged? I'm not deranged
Just the other day, He showed Himself
Under the crisper shelf
I don't think that I need prove this
I can't see why you mock me
Cold-sanguined, the Fridge Penguin
'Cause there's been so many wrong before
In very mythic ways
So what's one more?
Shall I whine and pout
'Cause you're full of doubt,
When I stand right here, begging Him come out?
Wait, I thought I saw His little beak
By the sauerkraut!
So you think I'm rather funny,
That I should see a head physician?
But it makes sense that He'd want a home so cool
He ain't no fool
Turns off the light show, I say it's so
I've seen Him step out
He is tiny, yet quite stout
Sporting white kid gloves
While he flits about
And I know you can't believe this
He won't go for trout
So, could you just believe me?
Hey, it ain't the Great Pumpkin
Like Linus hoped, that little dope
Just go to bed, just walk away
You just don't want to know
The Penguin's so
I can't say no
So just go blow.
Nuts to you, won't poo-poo Him
Think me deranged? I'm not deranged
Just the other day, He showed Himself
Under the crisper shelf
I don't think that I need prove this
I can't see why you mock me
Cold-sanguined, the Fridge Penguin
'Cause there's been so many wrong before
In very mythic ways
So what's one more?
Shall I whine and pout
'Cause you're full of doubt,
When I stand right here, begging Him come out?
Wait, I thought I saw His little beak
By the sauerkraut!
So you think I'm rather funny,
That I should see a head physician?
But it makes sense that He'd want a home so cool
He ain't no fool
Turns off the light show, I say it's so
I've seen Him step out
He is tiny, yet quite stout
Sporting white kid gloves
While he flits about
And I know you can't believe this
He won't go for trout
So, could you just believe me?
Hey, it ain't the Great Pumpkin
Like Linus hoped, that little dope
Just go to bed, just walk away
You just don't want to know
The Penguin's so
I can't say no
So just go blow.

Why do I get the feeling I've read this one already?
I know I haven't read it yet, and so the Fridge Penguin saga continues. A veteran write Agri, and a strong one in the middle of what is shaping up to be one tough November SOTM field
Great parody... but the Fridge Penguin is still no match for the Flying Spaghetti Monster... ;)
All hail the flightless messiah!! Great stuff, Ag. 555
Great parody, funny too. DKTOS, so I hate to dust off my grandparents DVD of it and listen, pacing was dead on. 555.

Ag - You sure that Fridge Penguin was not just a little "Blue Nun" getting a midnight snacK? I have never laid eyes on the "FP" myself so I have my doubts about him. Nonetheless some great write here.

Yes, a good write on a very strange character; you kept to the theme well.
ABC: Not bad, DKTOS, but still pretty good.
Good
(ABC) what the? how did I miss this one on release, Ag? Sorry about that. and you mean to say you've SEEN the Fridge Penguin??? Him almighty! I've gotta give this one 5s Hallelujah - 555
(ABC5I) Amusing little story, Agri. DKTOS, but given your track record it's highly unlikely that there'd be pacing errors. 555
(ABC) A magical mystery tour of the fridge!...Especially liked the "sauerkraut" line!!!...555!!!
Interesting write about the Fridge Penguin here, Aggy. Fine rhyming.
It was good and well written, Agri, The OS is about as boring as an OS can be--I've never seen the whole movie, just familiar with the theme song, so listening to the YouTube was a must on this. . .very Fleetwood Mac type song, but with better vocals. . .so naturally yours is an improvement.
I agree with Below Average Dave on the quality of the OS... I love Jesus Christ Superstar but this song doesn't come close to the good ones like "What's The Buzz" and "King Herod's Song"... Although this was still a pretty great idea and a fun hymn to sing to the Fridge Penguin.
It's taken extensive research on my part, but I do know about the fridge penguin (although I've never seen him)
Your "sauerkraut" sub stood out for me as well along with the Charlie Brown ref...

Another crazy song about the dreaded Fridge Penguin. Nice job, I enjoyed.
