Poisonous talons, swim with our eyes closed Electromagnetic senses in our nose Burrows in the river banks, two layers of fur Bill like a duck, swim like a fish Do you know who we are? Semi-aquatic egg-laying mammals Furry like an otter, paddle-shaped tail We only eat meat not plants Cos we're carnivores Watch out beetles and swimming snails Cicadas and shrimp and tadpoles' tails Ooh We are the platypus We are not a curiosity We are just the only living ones of our kind We're quite mysterious We're platypus Mammals that lay eggs are quite unusual Platypus babies, we are called puggles Underneath the water, our fur can glow Why on earth this happens - no one knows Oooh We are the platypus We are not a curiosity We are just the only living ones of our kind We're quite mysterious We're platypus Ooh We are the platypus (ooh) We are not a curiosity (ooh) We are just the only living ones of our kind (ooh) We're quite mysterious We are the platypus (ooh) We are the platypus (ooh) We are the platypus We're quite mysterious
