Quack quack quack
quack quack quack

[Verse]
[spoken poetry]
Five little ducks went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said (quack quack quack)
But only four little ducks came back

[Verse 2]
Four little ducks went on a stroll
Waddling down by the pond's soft roll
Mother duck called (quack quack quack)
But only three little ducks came back

[Chorus]
[spoken poetry]
Quack quack quack
(quack quack quack)
Where'd they go
Quack quack quack
(quack quack quack)
I miss them so
Quack quack quack
Hearts in a whirl
Quack quack quack
Come back to this world

[Verse 3]
Three little ducks played in the sand
Swam and splashed all over the land
Mother duck cried (quack quack quack)
But only two little ducks came back

[Bridge]
Two little ducks in the meadow green
Chasing dreams they'd never seen
Mother duck called (quack quack quack)
But only one little duck came back

[Verse 4]
One little duck went all alone
Roaming far from his cozy home
Mother duck wept (quack quack quack)
And no little ducks waddled back
