Donald's Duck (song)

Donald's Duck is a song from the fifth series dedicated to Donald and Dilly. It uses some elements of Donald and Douglas' theme.

Lyrics

I found a quacker in my tender.

She was very, very tame,

But she quacked all night and through the day.

She was driving me insane.

My driver and my fireman

tried everything they know

To shoo the quacker away from me,

But she did not want to go.

The quacker clearly loves me

Was impossible to nab.

So now we have befriended her.

She rides inside my cab.

She quacks in stations big and small.

She quacks at people too.

Now, everyone calls her "Donald's duck,"

But I call her my quackeroo!

She makes me so happy

With her little ways.

So happy, it's true.

Now, everyone calls her "Donald's duck,"

But I call her my quackeroo!

Quacking here, quacking there

she is quacking everywhere

Quack, quack, choo, choo, choo,

she's my little quackeroo.

She's quacking here and there

She's quacking everywhere

Quack, quack, shoo, shoo, shoo.

She's my quackeroo!

Now everybody loves her

They love to hear her quack

And when we have to say goodbye

they ask when she'll be back

She's captured everybody's heart

She knows just what to do.

Now, everyone calls her "Donald's duck,"

But she's my quackeroo!

She makes me so happy

With her little ways.

So happy, it's true.

Now, everyone calls her "Donald's duck,"

But I call her my quackeroo!

Quacking here, quacking there

she is quacking everywhere

Quack, quack, choo, choo, choo,

she's my little quackeroo.

She's quacking here and there

She's quacking everywhere

Quack, quack, shoo, shoo, shoo.

She's my quackeroo!

She's my quackeroo!

She's my quackeroo!
