Lyrics
Just then, a duck came waddling round. She was glad
That Peter hadn't closed the gate and decided to
Take a nice swim in the deep pond in the meadow
Seeing the duck, the little bird flew down upon the
Grass, settled next to her and shrugged his shoulders
"What kind of bird are you if you can't fly?" said he
To this the duck replied, "What kind of bird are
You if you can't swim?" and dived into the pond
They argued and argued, the duck swimming in the
Pond and the little bird hopping along the shore
Suddenly, something caught Peter's attention
It was a cat crawling through the grass
The cat thought, "The bird is busy arguing. I'll just grab him!"
Stealthily, she crept towards him on her velvet paws
"Look out!" shouted Peter, and the bird immediately flew up
Into the tree. While the duck quacked angrily at the cat
From the middle of the pond
The cat walked round the tree and thought, "Is it worth climbing up
So high? By the time I get there, the bird will have flown away."
