The little ducklings, oh how cute  
Must listen to their mom  
Do not get lost, you better scoot  
And when she calls, you come

They fall in line: “don’t fall behind!”  
And follow mama duck  
Each in the spot they are assigned  
Once picked for it, you’re stuck

They fall in line, but in their mind  
Each hopes to be the one  
Though it's a secret from their kind  
Each wants to be a swan
