The Penguin Matchmaking Song
Text & Music: Sibylle Machat, 2002
Notes: capo to 4th fretSibylle says: This is just so much nonsense. The IQ it gave me was 136 (hee...), and the second test I took was the "your perfect mate" one, which also told me stuff I knew all along to be the case, but... as for the others ... well, your choice! Though they are the real, genuine results. (@ www.emode.com)

Verse: (This one spoken)
(G) I went to this (C) website which (dm) said it would tell me my (G) IQ
I (C) answered all the (G) questions and it (A7) did what it said it would (D) do...
while (G) waiting for the (C) answers I (dm) thought I'd surf it some (G) more
and (C) now know a (G) dozen things I (A7) never ever (D) knew before!Chorus:
(C) Tell me, do you like (G) penguins
For (A) then I am your (D) perfect wife ...
Oh (C) yes if you like (G) penguins
for I (A) was one in my (D) former lifeThe way I take my coffee makes me a realist
and my perfect job would be as a far asian linguist
my true colour is blue, my flirting style is coy
my three children will be two girls and a boy.If I was a dog, a bernese mountain dog I'd be
my lucky stone's an amethyst, my lucky number three
my secret hidden super power is invisibility
and if I was a monster, a mummy I would be.But, tell me, do you like penguins
For then I am your perfect wife ...
Oh yes if you like penguins
I was one in my former lifeAs to my cat - oh yes indeed, that cat which I don't even own
his hidden personality resembles that of Al Capone (spoken: uh oh, dangerous cat, mate)
I also took a partner test for a lover I no longer have
and from the things I felt for him he was my one and only love ... (D - em - G) (well, mope.....)(Though actually, I am glad he left, really, otherwise I would have a problem ...)
For I think it fair to tell, Mel Gibson is my guy
and yes I think that must be so, just please don't as me why (since I think he is ugly)
and the test said I'd be married by August 2005
and I am convinced that I'll be his perfect wife (Well ... I just hope he likes penguins)So tell me, does Mel like penguins
I was one in my former life
As long as Mel likes penguins
I will be his perfect wife ... .I'm an observer who should wear pumps with everything
I am a good date never saying the wrong thing
And - oh - I was born under the wrong star sign
for of all the signs scorpio or cancer should have been mine.As for you, you're perfect if you're twice as old as me (or more, I am not picky, as long as you like penguins!)
for the thing it said that turns me on is maturity
the perfect guy for me it said would be just like red wine
dry and aged and flavoured and getting tastier all the time. (D - em - G) (and it didn't even mention penguins!)(C - G) But, nevertheless, I think you should.......... .
Tell me, do you like penguins
Well then I am your perfect wife ...
Oh yes if you like penguins
as I was one in my former lifeOh yes if you like penguins
we're a match meant to be
if only you like penguins
we'll be perfection, you'll see!
(though I think it fair to say:)
(D - em - G)
I don't even LIKE PENGUINS(Applicants please apply after the set)
