Glennny - Platypus

from SpinTunes 21 Round 3 by Spintunes

about

The Platypus is clearly a chimera of an otter and a duck. The duck was a thought, the otter was a thought. They combined in an unexpected way to become the platypus. We suspect the alchemist making this creation was Australian. It's tough to be sure. The OWCA is the organization Perry belongs to. Perry is the world's most famous platypus from the show Phineas and Ferb. OWCA stands for Organization Without a Cool Acronym.

lyrics

Duck
Like water off your back
Nothing phases you
Some call you “a quack”
Your problems are Duck Soup

You’re calm on the surface
While you paddle like the dickens
I’d never know you’re nervous
Or slave to your ambitions

Float along and do no wrong
Fall in and out of luck
You’re good to go, all in a row
Like every other duck

Why did it ever make sense to play?
I got a feeling I can’t dissuade

Otter
You’ve closed your ears to me
Like an otter on a swim
You’ve got the best of me
I’m at mercy to your whims

We fought the fight too much
It ought to be called off
I think you lost the touch
Somewhere in the early aughts

dive in and take the hint
The world is all we got
Do what you can to make a plan
And Execute your oughts

Why did it ever make sense to play?
I got a feeling I can’t dissuade

Platypus
Seemingly a paradox
Duck and Otter- special ops
Add, subtract, and readjust
Be the noble Platypus

Drive and float, hint and know
For the OWCA
Execute, it’s just duck soup
Like Perry, to save the day

Why did it ever make sense to play?
I got a feeling I can’t dissuade
Why was I ever so clever
did it ever make sense to play?
I got a feeling and I’m reeling
But it’s nothing that I can dissuade
