A duck on the land has an ungainly pace.
Its swimming is faster but won’t win a race.
You’d think that you ought
Not to give it a thought,
But a duck in the air moves with powerful grace.

Don’t You Dawdle

You say that you’re just killin’ time,
Or is it time that’s killin’ you?
It’s not too late; it’s not past time,
To start to find a fun pastime.

Don’t you dawdle and don’t delay.
Try to find a better way.
The sun is shinin’, so let’s make hay!
It’s time to start a brand new day!

Me-o-my-o! Don’t time fly?
I’m havin’ fun, that’s not a lie.
I’m so plucky…you wonder why?
I’m not lucky, it’s ‘cause I try!

Don’t you dawdle and don’t delay.
Try to find a better way.
The sun is shinin’, so let’s make hay!
It’s time to start a brand new day!

Another day in paradise!
Another day in ecstasy!
Life is ducky, can’t you see?
It’s just like this eternally!

Don’t you dawdle and don’t delay.
Try to find a better way.
The sun is shinin’, so let’s make hay!
It’s time to start a brand new day!
