Four Little Ducks
Traditional

Lyrics:

 

Four little ducks went out to play

Over the hills and far away

Mama Duck said, “Quack quack quack quack”

Three little ducks came waddling back

 

Three little ducks went out to play

Over the hills and far away

Mama Duck said, “Quack quack quack quack”

Two little ducks came waddling back

 

Two little ducks went out to play

Over the hills and far away

Mama Duck said, “Quack quack quack quack”

One little duck came waddling back

 

One little duck went out to play

Over the hills and far away

Mama Duck said, “Quack quack quack quack”

And no little ducks came waddling back

 

No little ducks went out to play

Over the hills and far away

Mama Duck said, “Quack quack quack quack”

And four little ducks came waddling back!

2nd line: Take that hand and have it wave up and down as if going up and down hills, moving away from you.
3rd line: With your OTHER hand, flap your fingers and thumb together as if they are a mama duck’s beak quacking.
