Tune: Wheels on the Bus
The ducks in the water go quack, quack, quack!
Quack, quack, quack! Quack, quack, quack!
The ducks in the water go quack, quack, quack!
All autumn long!

The ducks in the water go flap, flap, flap…
The ducks in the water go waddle, waddle, waddle…
The ducks in the water go splash, spash, splash…

Diaper Rhyme: Lift One Foot

Lift one foot, and then the other
Lift one foot, and then the other
Lift one foot, and then the other
Lift them both together

Clap your hands and keep on clapping . . .

If you’re happy and you know it, flap your wings.

If you’re happy and you know it, flap your wings.

high and low…
around and around wave it goodbye

Goodbye song: We Wave and Sing Goodbye

We wave and sing goodbye,
we wave and sing goodbye,

we wave and sing goodbye

We bounce and sing goodbye…
