About the Song
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, let’s count the numbers one more time! Counting is one of the first skills kids pick up as they grow, and it’s certainly an important one! Five Little Ducks is a lovely nursery rhyme that all children love, with its soft music and catchy lyrics, this is one of the most known songs for kids around the world.
In this lovely song, a mother duck goes swimming with its five little ducklings to a place far, far away. While swimming, mother duck calls the ducklings to get together but only four come back! As they keep swimming, she calls for the ducklings again, but only three come back this time! Mother duck is really sad but after a couple of tries the family gets back together!
Now, let’s take a look at the video and enjoy this fun song that also doubles as a counting-out game!
Five Little Ducks Lyrics
Five little ducks went out one day
Over the hills 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 hills 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 hills 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 hills 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 hills and far away
Mother Duck said “Quack, quack, quack, quack!”
But no little ducks came waddling back.
Sad Mother Duck went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother Duck said “Quack, quack, quack, quack!”
And all of the six little ducks came back.
