Little Birds Fly

Way up in the sky, The little birds fly, And down in the nest The little birds rest. With a wing on its left And a wing on its right All of the birdies Sleep all through the night. When the bright sun comes up And the dew falls away “Good morning, good morning” The little birds say.

Four little ducks went out one day. Three little ducks went out one day. Two little ducks went out one day. One little duck went out one day. . . And no little ducks came running back. Sad mother duck went out one day, Over the hills and far away. Mother duck said, “Quack, quack, quack, quack.” And all of the five little ducks came running back.

Two little butterflies sitting in the sun. One flew away and then there was one. One little butterfly looking for a home. He flew away and then there were none.

Quack, quack, quack. Quack, quack, quack. He led the others with his quack, quack, quack. Down to the river they would go, Wibble wobble, wibble wobble, to and fro. But the one little duck with the feather on his back, He led the others with a quack, quack, quack. Quack, quack, quack. Quack, quack, quack. He led the others with his quack, quack, quack. Home from the river they would come, Wibble wobble, wibble wobble, ho-hum-hum. But the one little duck with the feather on his back, He led the others with a quack, quack, quack. Quack, quack, quack. Quack, quack, quack. He led the others with his quack, quack, quack.
