I came across a dance they a-do a-down in Mexico
Or maybe Puerto Rico I do not quite recall.
A very pretty lady, she taught it to me daily
Till I knew it like a ditty and this is how it goes:

Do the Pelican
Do the Pelican
Do the Pelican
You Americans
And Dominicans

Everybody loves the tiny little pelican
Why don't you a-love the tiny little pelican
What's it done to you the tiny little pelican
Nothing. At. All!
That's why you gotta do the Pelican
You Australians
And Puert-oricans
And Cost-aricans

Do the pelican
What have you got to lose
Do the pelican
You can make it if you choose.

If you do the pelican
Do the Pelican
Do the Pelican
You Canadians
And Antarcticans

That’s the little number they sing a-down in Mexico
And maybe Puerto Rico I do not quite recall.
Now you know the ditty you dance it down the avenue
Showing all them ladies that this is how it goes:

Do the Pelican
Do the Pelican
