The Pelican'ts

The Pelican'ts are pelicans

Who lack the least ambition

They loiter ‘bout the waterfront

Instead of going fishin’.

You’d see them near the canneries

They're always on the dole

But when the fleet it comes to shore

They’ll dine on Dover sole.

The leader of the Pelican'ts

A bird whose name was Ike

He’d bum around the fishing piers

And dreamed of 
scrumptious pike.

In Fall the other pelicans

Were leaving for Cancun

Ike waved his wing and said goodbye

With, “Hoped to see them soon.”

Then Ike and all his feathered friends

Did sing this simple chant:

“There’s those that do, and those that won’t

But we're The Pelican'ts!
