Lyrics: Wang Jiazhen

Composer: Hu Xiaohuan

Under the front bridge? Swim across a flock of ducks

Come on, come on, count it. Okay, 24678

Quack quack? Really, too much.

How many ducks are there? I can't count how many ducks there are.

Grandpa driving ducks? The beard sparkled.

Singing a hometown play? And tell jokes.

Children? Children? Go to school quickly

Don't you take a duck egg home? Don't test a duck egg and take it home.
