DUCK ABOUT YOU
[ country/comedy ]
We can pump our pecs with steroids, botox a saggin' smile
Do a hep 2-step in skin-tight jeans with designer seams in style
But if there's nothin' sweet on the inside
To match the outside sugar bowl
We might find ourself at the bottom
Of the popular opinion poll
You can walk like a duck, swim like a duck
Do just like ducks do
Quack like a duck, flap like a duck
Paste feathers all over you
You might smell like a duck, waddle in muck
An’ leave behind a lot'ta ducky-doo
But if you ain’t a genuine duck
Folks just might not
Give a duck 'bout you
Some folks walk the walk, others just talk the talk
Some pretend to be our friend and end up cleanin' our clock
Greedy fat cats and down dirty rats
Sometimes lead us astray
But truth will find its own way
To come out at the end of the day
You can walk like a duck, swim like a duck
Do just like ducks do
Quack like a duck, flap like a duck
Paste feathers all over you
You might smell like a duck, waddle in muck
An’ leave behind a lot'ta ducky-doo
But if you ain’t a genuine duck
Folks just might not
Give a duck 'bout you
Some run over their own mothers for a little fame and wealth
But treatin' others worse than we want 'em treatin' us
Can be detrimental to our public health
You can walk like a duck, swim like a duck
Do just like ducks do
Quack like a duck, flap like a duck
Paste feathers all over you
But if we don't treat others kindly
There's one thing sure 'nough true
What goes 'round can come back to hound
And folks might not
Give a duck 'bout you
