This Is How a Duck Walks
Emma's Imagination

Verse 1:
   G                C
This is how a duck walks
    D                G
So they don't go in the river
    G              C
And swim beneath the sun,
   D                G
With feathers soft and sleek,
    C              D
They waddle just for fun.

Chorus:
   G                C
And they can look at the leaves,
    D                 G
And tickle the sky,
   G               C
With every little step,
      D             G
They always seem to fly.

Verse 2:
   G                C
And then, and then, and then,
      D             G
You keep on going,
    G               C
Waddling in a line,
    D               G
Their little feet are showing.

Chorus:
   G                C
And then, and then, it’s salamander,
    D               G
Watching with a grin,
   G                C
Salamander is like this,
       D                  G
But we're still on duck, still on duck,
    C               D
Let's see that waddling spin!

Verse 3:
   G                C
Through the tall green grass,
    D                G
With friends all around,
   G               C
The world’s a big adventure,
    D               G
With wonders to be found.

Chorus:
   G                C
And they can look at the leaves,
    D                 G
And tickle the sky,
   G               C
With every little step,
      D             G
They always seem to fly.

Outro:
   G                C
So remember how a duck walks,
    D                G
From the bank to the shore,
   G               C
With a little bit of swagger,
    D                G
Always wanting more,
   G                C
And then, and then, it’s salamander,
    D               G
But for now, we’re on duck,
   G                C
Just keep on waddling along,
    D             G
Let’s share this little luck!
