　　⑴ We waddle away from the water,
　　And now we will waddle back;
　　Then swish, swish, we are swimming again.
　　Quack! Quack! Quack!
　　
　　⑵ When the orchard yield will be gathered soon,
　　And the fields beyond are yellow with corn,
　　The dog in our yard awakes with a yawn,
And yaps and yelps at the yellow moon.
