D - U - C - K - I - E

sung by Ernie (Jim Henson)

There's someone that I care for
Gee, the one I need is you
A chum who's always there for me
If skies are grey or blue
Your precious little picture
Is a fixture in this frame
I love to sit and stare at it
And softly spell your name

D means you're delightful and delicious and so dear
U says I'm undone by what you do
C is for the cute way that you squeak into my ear
K is for the kick I get from you
I, I'll be there if you're in hot water
E you're extra-special to the end
Put them altogether, they spell DU-UUU-CKIE
Rubber duckie, I'm so lucky you're my friend

spoken: So rubber duckie, that's a great picture of you. (squeak, squeak)
Yeah, you like the song? (squeak, squeak)

D means you're delightful and delicious and so dear
U says I'm undone by what you do
C is for the cute way that you squeak into my ear
K is for the kick I get from you
I, I'll be there if you're in hot water
E you're extra-special to the end
Put them altogether, they spell DU-UUUUUUU-CKIE
Rubber duckie, I'm so lucky you're my friend
