All the Little Ducks Go Upside Down lyrics

All the little ducks go upside down,

Upside down, upside down.

All the little ducks go upside down

As they dabble at the bottom of the pond.

All their little tails go wiggle, waggle, wiggle

Wiggle, waggle, wiggle,

Wiggle waggle wiggle.

All their little tails go wiggle, waggle, wiggle

As they dabble at the bottom of the pond.

All their little beaks go snap, snap, snap

Snap, snap, snap,

Snap, snap, snap.

All their little beaks go snap, snap, snap

As they dabble at the bottom of the pond.
