The Little White Duck (Walt Barrows and Bernard Zaritzky) There's a little WHITE DUCK - sitting in the water A little WHITE DUCK - doing what he oughter He took a bite of a lily pad; flapped his wings and he said; "I'm glad - I'm a little WHITE DUCK - sitting in the water Quack (quack) quack (quack) quack (quack) (quack)." There's a little GREEN FROG - swimming in the water A little GREEN FROG - doing what he oughter He jumped right off of the lily pad That the little DUCK bit, and he said; "I'm glad - I'm a little GREEN FROG - swimming in the water Glump (glump) glump (glump) glump (glump) (glump)." There's a little BLACK BUG - floating on the water A little BLACK BUG - doing what he oughter He tickled the FROG on the lily pad That the little WHITE DUCK bit and he said; "I'm glad - I'm a little BLACK BUG floating on the water Chirp (chirp) chirp (chirp) chirp (chirp) (chirp)." There's a little RED SNAKE - laying in the water A little RED SNAKE - doing what he oughter He frightened the DUCK and the FROG so bad He ate the little BUG and he said; "I'm glad - I'm a little RED SNAKE laying in the water Wriggle (swish) Wriggle (swish) Wriggle (swish) (swish)." Now there's nobody left - sitting in the water Nobody left - doing what he oughter There's nothing left but the lily pad The DUCK and the FROG ran away; I'm sad - 'cause there's nobody left sitting in the water Blue (oooh) blue (oooh) blue (oooh) (oooh).
