Don't want to stare at a wall

I see those ducks in flight.

I love you baby but I can't ball

What was the first thing that I saw?

Ducks, ducks on the wall.

Ducks, ducks hanging on the wall.

G                                          
I'll sit and look at all the soap operas with her 
                                          
I'll play all the panel games and watch all the quiz shows, 
D                                C   G7         
But those ducks they've got to go, 
D                                          
Those ducks are getting up my nose.

If those ducks can fly, well so can I. 
             Em                             
And if those ducks have got to stay

Then I'm going to fly away.

I love you baby but I can't ball

Ducks, ducks, ducks on the wall. 
D                              G            
Ducks, ducks, ducks on the wall. 

Continue the shuffle.                                          
Oh those ducks on the wall are beginning to move.They're talking to me. I've got
to get away from those ducks. 

End on an altered G7(add Quack)
