“Five Little Ducks” is a popular nursery rhyme and counting song that has been passed down through generations. While its exact origins are unknown, it is widely believed to be a traditional folk song. The rhyme tells the story of five little ducks who go out to play but gradually disappear, only to return in the end when their mother calls them back. It teaches young children basic counting skills and the concept of subtraction in a fun and engaging way. The song also conveys themes of love, family, and the importance of listening to parents.
Five Little Ducks
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 none of the five little ducks came back.
Sad mother duck went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said, “Quack, quack, quack, quack”
And all of the five little ducks came back
Five little ducks went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said, “Quack, quack, quack, quack”
And all of the five little ducks came back
