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
