Do De Rubber Duck – Monday’s Music Moves Me

This week is free choice for Monday’s Music Moves Me.   When Princess Nagger was little, she used to giggle profusely whenever I’d attempt to sing the Rubber Duck song from Sesame Street.  Last night when I was washing her hair in her bath, I started to sing it, and she still giggled over it.  And of course it got stuck in my head, so I thought I’d let it get stuck in your head, too:

Here are the lyrics:

Ernie: There’s a brand new dance
And it’s got a reggae beat
You do it in the bath
While you wash your hands and feet

Get in the tub
Hold your duckie in your lap
Tap your toes while you scrub
In the water from the tap

All: And do de duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck
Rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, rubber duck, duck

Ernie: Come on everybody try
(Do de rubber duck!)
Don’t be left high and dry
(Yeah do de rubber duck!)
As you keep on getting wetter
(Do de rubber duck!)
You’ll be feeling so much better
(Do de rubber duck!)
You’ll be left without a care
(When you do de rubber duck!)
And you can even wash your hair
(While you do de rubber duck!)
It will have a healthy sheen
(If you do de rubber duck!)
Yeah you’ll be squeaky clean
(When you do de rubber duck!)

All: And do de duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck
Rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, rubber duck, duck

Telly: Don’t get soap in your eye
(When you do de rubber duck!)
‘Cause that’ll make you cry
(When you do de rubber duck!)

Oscar: Hey all you grouches sing
(Now do de rubber duck!)
Yeah make the bathtub ring
(Do de rubber duck!)

Ernie: Everybody knows
(How to do de rubber duck!)

Scrub your flippers and your toes
(Do de rubber duck!)

The Count: And while you wash away your troubles
(Do de rubber duck!)
Don’t forget to count the bubbles
One, two, three, four!

All: Duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck
Rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, rubber duck, duck

Biff: All around the woild
(Dey do de rubber duck!)
Whenever folks get soiled
(Dey do de rubber duck!)

Guy Smiley: Watch ’em splishin’ and a-splashin’
(Do de rubber duck!)
It’s the very latest fashion!
(Do de rubber duck!)

Gladys the Cow: Take at least one bath a day
(Do de rubber duck!)
And you’ll moooove those germs away
(Do de rubber duck!)

Hoots the Owl: Come and be a bathtime bopper!
(Do de rubber duck!)
Don’t pull out the stopper!
(Do de rubber duck!)

All: Duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck
Rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, rubber duck, duck

One more time!

And do de duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck
Rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck, rubber duck,
Duck, rubber duck, rubber duck, duck
