- One Little Duck
One little duck in the pond so blue
Called for a friend and then there were two
Two little ducks, swimming 'round with glee
Called for a friend and then there were three
Three little ducks, paddling near the shore
Called for a friend and then there were four
Four little ducks, learning how to dive
Called for a friend and then there were five
Five little ducks near the end of the day
Hear the hunters coming and they all swam away.

- Little Yellow Ducks
We're little yellow ducks
Who love to see the rain,
(waddle like a duck)
Little yellow ducks,
Now we will explain.
We love to see the rain come down,
Making puddles all over town.
(Flutter ringers downward)
We're little yellow ducks
Who love to swim and splash,
(pretend to swim like a duck)
We wish the rain
Would last and last and last.
We love to see the rain come down,
Then we can swim all over town
(nod head and smile)
