The Duck Song Lyrics
Tell me the duck story
Bum bum bum, ba-dum ba-dum
1. A duck walked up to a lemonade stand
And he said to the man, running the stand
“Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes?”
The man said “No, we just sell lemonade
But it’s cold and it’s fresh, and it’s all home-made.
Can I get you a glass?”
The duck said “I’ll pass.”
Chorus:
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
‘Til the very next day, bum bum bum bum bum ba-dum
- When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand
And he said to the man, running the stand
“Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes?
The man said “No, like I said yesterday
We just sell lemonade. Okay?
Why not give it a try?”
The duck said “Goodbye.”
Chorus:
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
‘Til the very next day, bum bum bum bum bum ba-dum
- When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand
And he said to the man running the stand
“Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes?
The man said “Look, this is getting old
I mean, lemonade’s all we’ve ever sold
Why not give it a go?”
The duck said “How ’bout, no.”
Chorus:
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle waddle
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
‘Til the very next day, bum bum bum bum bum ba-dum
- When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand
And he said to the man running the stand
“Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes?”
The man said “THAT’S IT! If you don’t stay away, Duck
I’ll glue you to a tree and leave you there all day, stuck
So don’t get too close!”
The duck said “Adios.”
Chorus:
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle waddle
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
‘Til the very next day, bum bum bum bum bum ba-dum
- When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand
And he said to the man running the stand
“Hey! (Bum bum bum) got any glue?”
“What?” “Got any glue?”
“No, why would I– oh!”
Then one more question for you
“Got any grapes?”
(Bum bum bum, bum bum bum)
- And the man just stopped, then he started to smile
He started to laugh, he laughed for a while
He said “Come on duck, let’s walk to the store
I’ll buy you some grapes so you won’t have to ask anymore.”
- So they walked to the store and the man bought some grapes
He gave one to the duck and the duck said “Hmm… No thanks!”
But you know what sounds good?
It would make my day
Do you think this store…
Do you think this store…
Do you think this store…
Has any… lemonade?”
Chorus:
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle waddle
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle

Tell me another duck story
Bum bum bum, ba-dum ba-dum
- A duck walked up to a corner store
And he said to the woman, running the store
“Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes?”
The woman said “No, it’s a corner store
I mean grapes aren’t really what we’re known for
We’ve got some grape drinks?”
The duck said “They kinda stink”
Chorus:
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
‘Til the very next day, bum bum bum bum bum ba-dum
- When the duck walked up to the corner store
And he said to the woman, running the store
“Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes?”
The woman said”Oh, it’s you again, duck
I already told you you’re out of luck
We’ve got some grape gum?”
The duck said “I’ll take none”
Chorus:
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
‘Til the very next day, bum bum bum bum bum ba-dum
- When the duck walked up to the corner store
And he said to the woman running the store
“Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes?”
The woman said “Look, I’m trying not to shout
But please either buy something or get out!
We don’t sell fruit!”
The duck said “I’m kinda cute”
Chorus:
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
‘Til the very next day, bum bum bum bum bum ba-dum
- When the duck walked up to the corner store
And he said to the woman running the store
“Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes?”
The woman said “That’s it!
The next time you ask for grapes
I’m gonna tape you to the wall with this duct tape
Do I make myself clear?”
The duck said “Yes, dear”
Chorus:
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
‘Til the very next day, bum bum bum bum bum ba-dum
- When the duck walked up to the corner store
And he said to the woman running the store
“Hey! (Bum bum bum) got any grape chapstick?”
“What?”
“Got any grape chapstick?”
“Actually we do
But you don’t have any money do you?”
“Do you think you could…
Do you think you could…
Do you think you could… put it on my bill?”
Chorus:
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
Then he waddled away, waddle waddle
‘Til the very next day, bum bum bum bum bum ba-dum
