The Words to the Song:

There’s a little white duck sitting in the water,
A little white duck doing what he ought-er,
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 ought-er,
He jumped right off the lily pad, that the little duck bit and he said,
“I’m glad I’m a little green frog swimming in the water,
Ribbit, Ribbit, Ribbit.”

There’s a little black bug floating on the water,
A little black bug doing what he ought-er,
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,
Grix, Grix, Grix.”

There’s a little red snake lying in the water,
A little red snake doing what he ought-er,
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 lying in the water,
Hiss, Hiss, Hiss.”

Now there’s nobody left sitting in the water
Nobody left doing what he ought-er,
There’s nobody left but the lily pad—the duck and the frog ran away.
It’s sad that there’s nobody left sitting in the water
Boo, Hoo, Hoo.
