Platypus Walk

Lyrics
Walk the platypus walk,

Talk the platypus talk. [Perry chatters]

Walk the platypus walk,

Talk the platypus talk. [Perry chatters]

Walk the platypus walk,

Talk the platypus talk.

If you're web-footed, duckbilled and semi-aquatic,

If you're soft, cool, fuzzy and charismatic,

Disappear by day kinda enigmatic

Then you just might be a plata-fanatic.

(Walk the platypus walk)

You can be a platypus who doesn't do much

Or put on your fedora and come through in the clutch

Get yourself a mission, fire up your jetpack

Keep your duckbill forward and your beaver tail back.

Walk the platypus walk, [Perry chatters]

Talk the platypus talk.

Walk the platypus walk,

Keep your duckbill forward and your beaver tail back!

[Perry chatters]
