Over by the grand canal you can see them congregating in their droves
Swimming up and down the sunny silver stream that they've made their homes
Dipping their yellow beaks in the water every minute or so
Searching for something small to eat, because their hunger it grows

They go through this routine methodically all their lives
Only pausing for a break when a drake is out looking for a wife
To satisfy his need to spread his seed he takes a female into the reeds
Caresses her feathers with his beak and then they start to breed

and then they start quacking, quack quack quacking along
They start quacking, quacking out a simple song

Near the bench where Kavanagh sits there's a mother giving bread to her child
For her to break up into pieces and feed the ducks for a while
Soggy bread must be a delicacy because they all fight for a space
As near the girl as possible, they're almost eating her face

Then the mother start to worry that her daughter might fall into the canal
She cries 'be careful' to her child, who replies 'Mummy don't be so banal'
But mummy takes her away and the bread-flow is ended therefore
They leave the ducks in the water, quacking out for more

They're just quacking, quack quack quacking along
quacking, quacking out a simple song
Throw a pebble in the water and they'll come over thinking it's some food
But then they'll realise that its just a stone which to them ain't no good
They'll look at you in anger thinking 'What a bastard that guy is'
Getting petty amusement by setting us on a fruitless quiz

And as the night closes in the ducks gradually disappear
Where they go I don't know, their destination to me ain't very clear
But one things for sure, they're always back the next day
Swimming, eating, breeding quacking away

They're just quacking, quack quack quacking along
They're just quacking, quacking out a simple song
They're just quacking, quack quack quacking along
They're just quacking, quacking out a simple song
