Lyrics
Five little ducks
Went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said
"Quack, quack, quack, quack".
But only four little ducks came back.
Four little ducks
Went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said
"Quack, quack, quack, quack".
But only three little ducks came back.
Three little ducks
Went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said
"Quack, quack, quack, quack".
But only two little ducks came back.
Two little ducks
Went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said
"Quack, quack, quack, quack".
But only one little duck came back.
One little duck
Went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said
"Quack, quack, quack, quack".
But none of the five little ducks came back.
Sad mother duck
Went out one day
Over the hill and far away
The sad mother duck said
"Quack, quack, quack".
And all of the five little ducks came back.

The song is based on the book by Raffi, first published in 1989. The book is loved by all children with its sweet and colorful animations. Kids love to count down the number of ducks remaining.

"Five Little Ducks" is popular to use in classrooms to help teach children about numbers and colors. Many activities include reviewing the letter D, interesting water fowl bird facts, and coloring print outs of ducks.
