Burl Ives - The Little White Duck

Hi! Please visit our website, Rock The Jukebox:

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."

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
Glug, 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 in the water
Bzz, Bzzz, Bzzz."

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 up the bug and he said, "I'm glad
I'm a little red snake playing in the water
Hiss, Hisss, Hisss."

Now there's nobody left sitting in the water
Nobody left doing what they 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,
Boo! Hoo, Hoo...

When I was very very young, our family got our first record player and with it, our very first record: Burl Ives Sings Little White Duck and other children's songs. Of course we played that record over and over and over again. This is the first song on Side 1 of that record. The record was a gift from my paternal grandfather who personnaly knew Burl Ives ... it was a very good Christmas!

This was recorded in 1974, I think.

I used to sing this song, heck I sang this song last week. I love this song, I learned this a million years ago. But I couldn't remember all the words. Thanks for putting it here.
