the little white duck
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 glug, glump glug, glump glug glug" 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 duck bit and he said, "I'm glad I'm a little black bug floating on the water Chirp bzz, chirp bzz, chirp bzz bzz" There's a little red snake playing 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 hiss, wriggle hiss, wriggle hiss hiss"
