The Little White Duck Lyrics - Burl Ives

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"
