Song 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 world
(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 move those germs away
(Do de rubber duck!)

[Hoots the Owl:]
Come and be a bath time 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
