Mother (or Father) duck went out one day                                          He led the others with a quack, quack, quack.
Over the hills and far away,

THE LITTLE WHITE DUCK

There’s a little white duck                                                                  Home from the river they would come,
Sitting in the water.                                                                              Wibblle, wabble, wibble, wabble, ho hum hum.
A little white duck,                                                                                He led the others with a quack, quack, quack
Doing what he ought–ter.                                                                  Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack,
He took a bite of a lilly pad.                                                                He led the others with a quack, quack, quack
Flapped his wings
and he said,“I’m glad,
I’m a little white duck
Sitting in the water.”
Quack, Quack, Quack!

Goosey, goosey, gander

Goosey, goosey, gander
Whither shall I wander,
Upstairs and downstairs
And in my lady’s chamber.
There I met an old man 
Who would not say his prayers,
I took him by the left leg,
And threw him down the stairs!

 

OLD MOTHER GOOSE

Old Mother Goose, when
She wanted to wander,
Would ride through the air
On a very fine gander.
 

 

Goosey, goosey, gander                                                                   Counting Out Rhyme
Goosey, goosey, gander                                                                    Hinty, minty, cuty, corn,       (clap to rhythm)
Whither shall I wander,                                                                      Apple seed and apple thorn,
Upstairs and downstairs                                                                   Wire, briar, limber lock
And in my lady’s chamber.                                                                                Three geese in a flock.       (hold up three fingers)
There I met an old man                                                                      One flew east, and one flew west.   (point to the right, then left)
Who would not say his prayers,                                                       One flew over the cuckoo's nest.      (fly hand high right to left)
I took him by the left leg,
And threw him down the stairs!



Stretch, Stretch
Stretch, stretch away up high            (reach arms up)
On your tiptoes, reach the sky.          (stand on tiptoes)
See the bluebirds flying high.           (wave hands)
Now bend down and touch your toes.             (bend and touch toes)
Now sway as the North Wind blows.                               (sway body back and forth)
Waddle as the gander goes!            (walk and waddle)

 

 

Rubber Duckie

Sung by Ernie (Jim Henson)
Written by Jeffrey Moss


Rubber Duckie, you're the one
You make bathtime lots of fun
Rubber Duckie, I'm awfully fond of you

(woh woh, bee doh!)

Rubber Duckie, joy of joys
When I squeeze you, you make noise!
Rubber Duckie, you're my very best friend, it's true!

(doo doo doo doooo, doo doo)

CHORUS:
Every day when I
Make my way to the tubby
I find a little fella who's
Cute and yellow and chubby
(rub-a-dub-a-dubby!)

Rubber Duckie, you're so fine
And I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber duckie, I'm awfully fond of you

(repeat chorus)

Rubber Duckie, you're so fine
And I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber duckie, I'm awfully fond of
Rubber duckie, I'd like a whole pond of
Rubber duckie I'm awfully fond of you!

(doo doo, be doo)
