FIVE little ducks went swimming one day
Over the hill and far away.

And only FOUR little ducks came back!

There once was a man called Jake 

There once was a man called Jake
Who rowed his boat on the lake.
One day he came back
And met a duck called Zak
Who'd lost his quack by mistake! 


Row, row, row your boat 

Row row row your boat gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream. 

Row row row your boat gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

Row row row your boat gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream. 

Row row row your boat gently down the stream
If you see a crocodile...
Don't forget to scream!
